My mother's maternal grandmother is from County Cork, Ireland!
I have been drawn to everything Irish for as long as I can remember! The landscape, the livestock, the beer, the people. I have been talking about going to Ireland for 6 years and this year I promised my mother, I would make it happen.
I didn't know who I would go with, but that just didn't matter. My friend Alice decided she wanted to go, we had never traveled together before. She was an excellent travel companion!
We booked our trip through CIE Tours and they were fantastic.
The trip was better than I could have imagined and I am convinced that God made Ireland last! I figure, he tried out a few things first and when he decided he figured it out, he made Ireland!
I was able to connect with an old camp friend that I haven't seen in 23 years! She was the perfect host and showed us her village of Skerries, which was lovely!
This was a sampler trip and I know I will go back and spend more time in the Ring of Kerry and County Cork.
