Going to Ireland


This Friday my family and I are flying to Ireland for a two week vacation. I'm so excited! I've never been out of the country before!

Re: Going to Ireland


I've been to Hawai'i multiple times, mostly for Boy Scouts. It's been awhile since I've flown, however, so I'm especially excited.

Re: Going to Ireland


The trip was great. I got to see more than I would've expected, and I probably saw less than a percent of what Ireland has to offer. I'd definitely go back.

Re: Going to Ireland


FAVORITE PARTS



Tullaroan- we got to learn about hurling, the most popular sport in Ireland. It resembles a rougher variant of LaCrosse.



Newgrange- a very ancient burial tomb predating even the Pyramids.



Dublin Spire- a spire 130 yards tall. From the ground, you can't even see the top.



Ring of Kerry- a very scenic, albeit very long, drive through the Irish countryside.
