We really, really do. In fact, we're planning our trip with the help of the lovely travel catalogues that I requested at discoverireland.com. Hey, it could happen. Opportunity favors the prepared, right?
Here is our travel poster showing our preferred destinations:
We even put a golf course on there for Mark! But we'll be skipping the seaweed baths. Yuck!
The travel literature was our favorite resource this week but we also loved:
We also read a great story about the Giant's Causeway in this book:
And we watched several segments of the Globe Trekker DVD on Ireland (those that were kid-appropriate). We found a great video of the finale of a Chieftans show (love youtube! well, most of the time) that had it all: solos on the celtic harp, fiddle, Irish whistle and bagpipes, a bodhran, a song in Gaelic and step dancers! Whew! The kids watched it multiple times and showed it to everyone who happened to drop in. It also inspired much leaping, kicking and fancy footwork. Grandma M. came over and told of her Grandpa, a rather large irishman who was the best dancer in the county. Only one woman could keep up with him when they had "dance downs." So there you go. It's in our genes.
