I may be going to Ireland soon. It all depends on my FIL who is very ill at this time. If and when my handsome hubby and I make to Ireland we would love to have any advice you would like to share to make the trip extra special. And if there is an Irish Cutie, I would love to meet you. Thanks

Karen you will love Ireland the people and the land are truly amazing. The one thing I found surprizing is pepper gravy on everything meal wise, my hubby thought it was great but I don't like pepper..

How wonderful Karen that you may get to Ireland and I'm so sorry to read that your FIL is not well. I've never been there, but we have very dear friends who have been often and just love it. I'm sure you will get lots of ideas from ethan. Love Chris

Karen, what part(s) of Ireland do you think you might visit? I've been there a few times, and may be able to share some tips if you know in which areas you will be. Thanks.

It is an absolutely beautiful country and the people are so friendly. We loved the small villages, they all seemed to have a lovely bakery or pub where you could stop for a lovely lunch and if there were any others in the place, always a nice conversation. My choice of a must see is the Qaterford factory-fascinating to watch them make that beautiful cut crystal.

Oh Karen I am sorry that you are going under sad conditions but happy that you get to visit Ireland! Don't kiss the Blarney stone. The locals laugh @ tourists who do because come night fall they urinate on it. True fact. Enjoy as much as you can ~hugs~
