This is my last Ireland post. Then, we’re back to PA related travel. SInce it was my first time in Ireland, we tried to see as much as possible, which resulted in a lot of seeing, and far less doing, which is not ideally how I usually plan trips. For my first time, I’m glad I

Favorite Things About Irish Culture: 1) Live Music: I have no shame in admitting that nothing excites me more than walking into a bar on a Friday night and finding a cover band. I like them all: countryish acoustic players, traditional Irish acts, and the requisite “bar music” cover bands, whether they be good or cheesey. Live music
My Top Ten Favorite Things to See in Ireland 1) Dingle Penninsula: National Geographic Traveler once called the Dingle Peninsula “the most beautiful place in the world,” and I’d have to wholeheartedly agree.

And Parade Season 2013 Prep has just begun……
It’s about that time of the year when my friends and I start throwing out plans for summer trips. Now, not all of these come to fruitation, but you want to get ideas out, see who’s in, consult everyone’s schedules, etc, before anything concrete happens (and before everyone’s plate fills up). Now, I realize I’ve been
My brother purchased me tickets to see a Dropkick Murphy’s St. Patrick’s Day show up in Massachusetts. I’ve been wanting to spend a St. Patrick’s Day is Boston, so I’m glad he finally made me go make good on this. It did not disappoint. The concert was actually in Lowell, Massachusetts, an easy forty three
