Off to the Land of Rainbows, Lepracons & Guiness

We will be leaving on a trip of a lifetime and believe you me, I never thought I would get to go to the home of my grandmother and grandfather McGaughey, Ireland!
I can not even think of the words to use to express myself!
I told dad, it was like, the publishers clearing house people coming to the door and giving him flowers and champagne, and telling him he had won a Hundred Million dollars.
Its something that you would love to happen, but realistically, never think it will.
So today, we have packed our bags, and check everything twice and are feeling like we are pretty much ready, but.. Alas,, we still have to wait until we can leave. This is the hard part... the waiting.
Oh ! Tracy called and left a message on our answering machine, and our phones don't work in Ireland. neither does Jason's', nor his laptop. So.. I will see if I can post to this blog, at our Arklow Motel, once we get there. If you see no new posts.. its because I have no way to get to a computer. But.. I will try.
I have heard that Guiness in Ireland is not beer, its a food. I will eat lots of food in Ireland. So I am taking my FAT pants.
Mark, if I see a leprechaun, I will try and catch him, because, if you do, he has to tell you where the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, is. So if I come back rich.. well you will know I caught one.
And the exchange rate is horrible, for ever Euro.. it cost us $1.39. For every Pound it cost us $2.00. ugg.
Dad said if he found work, he may stay. Cherry and John were over and left us a converter, so I can use my curling Iron and recharge my camera batteries. They said to have a Guiness for them too. Boy I may come back looking quite Rosy... ha
