brendan and i booked our next trip!! we're going to ireland! we're flying to dublin by way of JFK from syracuse. we're going at the end of march for 10 days, so we'll arrive back in april. yay! we're both pretty excited about it. we got a good price on our tickets, and the exchange rate for the euro and the pound sterling is very good right now. we'll stay at hostels and backpack it around the island. it'll be pretty jammed packed because we're going to only spend a few days in about 4 or 5 different places. hopefully we'll get to see rachel & eric (et kids) while we're there, maybe we can crash on their couch in exchange for free babysitting! (rachel, i need your email address!)
both our dads families are from ireland, and specifically northern ireland. we're looking forward to visiting the town where both our families are from (ballymena). we'll have to be on the look-out for lorimers and mcknights :)
i can't wait to get our lonely planet and start planning! b had a friend from ireland (also named brendan) and he's gonna give us the downlow and a bit of an itinerary.
my mom keeps saying "aren't you going to go and visit our family while you're over there?". i admit, it feels funny to be in that neck of the woods and not be visiting aunts and uncle and cousins, but they're on a completely different island. i'd definitely make it a priority to visit them if we were in great britian. but i may get to go there with work in the next year so i'll visit then.
so the count-down for another trip has begun :)

where there was we'd tear them down
and use them on our enemies.
