Heading out for Ireland #8!

Leaving tomorrow for Ireland visit #8. Taking son and granddaughter this time and making a loop of the Southwest.

Y'all behave yourselves while I am gone. Hee hee!

Got the weather warmed up for you, will make sure Shannon's still there 6 am tomorrow and pop back on Sunday night to make sure you didn't get stuck there.

If renting from Dooley they run a shuttle from the coach park now and don't have a desk inside the airport.

Tony, really appreciate the weather change as it had been looking pretty grim there for a while.

Also thanks for the checks at Shannon....if you think I'm still there look for an elderly lady with tear-stained cheeks.

Dooley actually called me to tell me of the shuttle. Good service!

flpab, I suspect that even if I lived there I would never have time to see all I want to. Of course, I am pretty old.....

I do live here and there are some places I haven't been and more that I haven't spent as much time there as I'd like too.

Shannon Airport bright and sunny this morning for the arrival of the Boston Flight and early arrival of the NY flight how those planes carry all that luggage is amazing!! Breakfast at the Limestone Café filled a corner.

Jaja -- Enjoy #8! Hope the son and granddaughter find that Ireland claims their heart, too.

Back safely just ahead of Tropical Storm Bill!

Now playing catchup at work and home....trip report and photos soon, I promise.

Suffice it for now to say that a good time was had by all!

Can't wait to read your report--your advice has helped me plan our trip next month already (did you do the hawk walk at Killarney Falconry this time??). Welcome home!

Yes, amla, we did the Hawk Walk at Killarney Falconry. Actually we met the gent at the side of a boreen and we walked along flying Tex the Harris Hawk; then we were introduced to a lovely little barn owl. It was all quite nice and informative.
