Ready, Set...
Scott and I have both been working hard these past few months and decided it was time for a vacation. So, on May 20th, we are heading here for two weeks:
Any guesses? No?! Well, maybe this will help:
I am so excited, you have no idea! We really wanted to go while in college, but lets face it, we couldn't afford it. So, for two weeks, we'll be exploring Ireland by car, bike and foot. Oh, and, look at all the sheep (aka. yarn)!

Jealousy is trying to poke it's way into my feeble brain. What an awesome trip! I am sure you will have an amazing time -
I look forward to reading about your trip and seeing your pictures... of yarn ;)
Oh, gosh! What a great trip! Have a great time. Buy lots of yarn. Ship it back if you have to!
How wonderful! Hubbie & I plan to take the kids in a few years - I'm excited to hear about all you discover there!!
What an amazing trip! Have an awesome vacation!!
Sounds like a fabulous trip! I can't wait to see your pictures.
oh you lucky thing!!! ireland sounds fabulous. do take lots of pictures to show us.
How exciting! I can't wait to see the pictures of you and sheep when you return. :)
Ooh - a dream trip! You are going to have the *best* time! Can't wait for photos! :D
how EXCITING! What a dream vacation. Yay!
I went to college in Ireland and met my irish now-spouse there.....we try to drag the kids back every year.
My fave place to visit is NEWGRANGE which has a buge interpretive center near it and is amazing, it predates stonehenge. You used to be able to go inside the actual monument (not anymore) but the attached center is excellent.
Another place you might miss that I loved was St. Michan's Church in Dublin. We went a few years ago and toured the crypts under the church--the guide made us touch the mummies for luck! I touched a knight who had fought in the crusades!
Of course, I have not seen everything and it is your trip. Donegal is lovely and Northern Ireland is very friendly. Enjoy!!!!!!
Have a wonderful time. Played some soccer, kissed the Blarney Stone, drank a bit of Guinness and generally had a ball. I'm looking forward to going back someday.
OMG! This is my sister's and my dream to go there together. You will have sooo much fun. Drink a pint or two of Guiness for me!!!
The green monster (jealousy) is coming out to say...me wants to go tooooo! Baaawwaaah!
Enjoy your trip. It is just gorgeous from the pictures.
I went with my husband and three other couples and we had a ball. The scenery is breathtaking. Enjoy your trip, can't wait to hear where you are going.
Oh, splendid! What a fantastic time you're in for. I'm totally envious. ;-)
You'll bring back some yarn, right? :-)
Have a blast! It looks fabulous. Take an empty duffle bag...
You. Suck.
:-P
look at those moss-covered trees!! *swoons*
lucky lucky you ;)
While in Ireland in October I met a lovely couple who hijacked us for a weekend and showed us their hospitality in rural Galway. She called the sheep "wooly jumpers" (as in sweaters). I often think of them that way now.
Enjoy yourself and take plenty of photos. I am sure that you will come back with tons of ideas.
how awesome!!! i am so happy for you/wee bit jealous...you'll have an amazing time...and don't forget to find/buy yarn...lots and lots of yarn!!!
I look forward to seeing your photos. :) I'm actually heading to Europe May 15th, but no Ireland in the itinerary. After seeing these pics though I think I will have to go there one day.
I hope you guys have a great trip! How exciting can can't wait to see the photos and all the great yarn that end up coming from your inspiration while there. :)
Oh, Ireland! Well, you'll find out yourself all its wonders, but I must mention my daughter's favorite spot in the entire world (and if you saw her passport...): Roundwood House in County Laois. Check out Hidden Ireland in your planning. They have agreat website.
BTW, the same daughter, 9 y.o., has worn out her griffindor socks. I'm not kidding. She wore them for days on end, from the day the came of the needles until she wore right through the toe. Lucky I have enough yarn to re-knit them!

Dream vacation! Enjoy it for all of us :)
Two words...Absolute Jealousy ;)
Have fun! The homeland is definatley worth a trip!
Have a fanatastic time--I'm jealous! But be warned: driving in Ireland is not like driving in the US. My husband and I went a few years ago (before I seriously began my fiber habit) and thought "oh, Galway to Dublin? It's only about 200 miles--no sweat. We'll be there for lunch." Except we didn't realize that the roads are super narrow, bordered by high hedges, and you inevitably end up behind a very, very, very slow truck with a huge load of hay . . .
Having said that, we still had a grand time. If you do hit Dublin, take the Guiness tour and try out a literary pub crawl. And Dingle rocks--very steep cliffs with sheep just hangin' out on them. :)
