Ireland- Land of the leprechauns - Here we come




After much delay in actually taking a holiday, Steven and I are off to Ireland for two weeks. Of note, my mother - diva momma- and my stepdad will be joining us for this trip. Follow us as we drive around the island and experience the land of the redheads.







Momma diva's concern - #1. Driving on the "wrong" side of the road, of which they have done many times in their travels around the world. #2. I like to have her pay for everything (she is retired, but went back to work for one week to bring the bucks to Ireland hehehe). #3. Ensuring that the car is big enough for all the luggage.
