Counting down!

In less than a week I will be in Ireland!! I know I know that is all I talk about but I can't contain my excitement. It feels like I have so much last minute stuff to take care of and my head is just swirling. I can't wait until we take off so all of this tension and anticipation can be relieved! Actually, I probably won't be able to fully sit back and say "ahhhhhh I'm in Ireland" until I get the keys to our rental car and then we'll be on our way.

I've got my cousin Carley with me until we leave so I took her shopping today. We went to Peter Harris (a sort of clothing outlet) and scored big on some good brand name items. Tomorrow we are staying in and getting the house in order because my husband robbed me of the car for the day so he can take care of work stuff before we go. I think we'll take a walk to the library to return all my travel guides and pick up some plane entertainment. Friday will be a massive laundry day then on Saturday Carley and I will go for manis/pedis! Trip planning is so much fun, I want to make a full time job out of it. Well if I get a job there will be the opportunity for so much more travel for us, like hopefully a California Christmas!

Nothing beats a Cali Christmas Knock wood, but for the past several years (so far back, it's hard to remember) we've had a sunny & warm holiday. You'll need it after a trip to Ireland, hopefully the weather isn't too cloudy/foggy/rainy. But whatever it is, you'll enjoy it so much!!!! Have fun!!

I think you are leaving soon -- have a GREAT time!!!

The one and only time I went to Ireland, I went in Sept and it was beautiful. I hope it's the same for you!
