The Obligatory First Post

So I'm going to Ireland in 10 days...anyone want to join me?

Sorry, unless you can fit in my suitcase, and inside the little 'go green' bag that I'm taking for groceries, then I'm afraid it's a no go. However, you are more than welcome to pay upwards of a $1,000 if you too want to fly to the Emerald Isle. I didn't pay for the plane ticket so that price doesn't bother me as much as it probably should. The joys of being a college student, right?

So I really am going to Ireland in ten days. I will be spending about four and a half months at 'Uni' in Maynooth, a quaint Irish town outside of Dublin:


(Quaint Irish Town)

See? Rolling hills, sprawling fields of flowers, quaint bookshops and bakeries. Not to mention sheep.

Actually, that's not at all what Maynooth looks like. It is still beautiful, just with less rolling hills, sprawling fields of flowers, sheep...and this Irish music that continues to play in my head when I think of writing "rolling hills, sprawling fields and sheep." Definitely less of the music. And while I have bored you with my musings I have found a picture of Maynooth:



By the way, I will definitely be going to that Indian restaurant. What says Ireland like a great place to eat Indian food?

So you are more than welcome to come with me to Ireland (whoever 'you' may be), but like I said, there is the suitcase restriction. I'm kind of like an airline. Maybe I'll charge a $50 fee as well.

Cheers!

    I will supply the suitcase under the condition that you bring me back my Irish husband. :)

  2. My mom is working on that for all of us. They will all be destination weddings in a castle in Ireland.
