IRELAND!!!!!

Hello Everyone!

So we have some pretty exciting news!! We are going to Ireland next month!! We booked our tickets today and we will be gone from March 14 - 25!! We found an amazing deal on airfare ($700 round trip from Anchorage to Dublin) that we could not pass up! We have been wanting to go on vacation for some time and had been planning on going somewhere this spring when these fares opened up!

Also, we will be there for St. Patrick's Day! How perfect is that?! We are flying into and out of Dublin but we will be spending St. Pat's day in Galway. We are driving across the country from Dublin to Galway and then making our way around the southern coast of Ireland back up to Dublin. I have already made a few of our lodging reservations for our trip. We really want to experience a more authentic Ireland so we are going to be staying in a lot of B&B's, however in Galway we are staying in a more traditional hotel that we got an amazing rate at and in Dublin we are staying at Clontarf Castle, originally built in 1172! We figured if we are in Ireland we may as well splurge for a couple of nights in a castle, right?

Anyway, I am sure we will post more as we get closer and our itinerary firms up.

This will be our first time in Ireland so if anyone has been before or has any ideas or suggestions please let us know!
