After much anticipation, Liz and I finally left the U.S. and we've made it to Ireland (safe, sound, and exhausted). We spent the morning sleeping in the Stillorgan hotel lobby while Aunt Eileen went to an American Women's Club meeting, had a quick lunch, and a much needed nap. After dinner, the three of us and Uncle Colm went on a beautiful walk along "the Promenade" on the coast in Bray. We're sitting and drinking some wine now, drugged up on Tylenol PM and ready to go to bed and get into the swing of European life.
Aunt Eileen and Colm have a nice, cozy cottage, just a 10 minute walk from the shore. Bray is a lot more "happening" than we expected, so we're really looking forward to the next few days. As long as we get to the Guinness factory and some big soccer match in Dublin, I'm sure we'll find plenty of other things to keep us occupied, and we are lucky to have very gracious hosts.
I'm really excited to be in Ireland - it's a heritage trip for me. I hope that sometime this year I'll be able to head up to Bally James Duff and see where my family came from.
Keep in touch, everyone! This is just beginning!
