May, 2003

 

 

We will always go to Ireland. We love the country and our family that is there. In May, 2003, we went to Ireland for the 9th or 10th time. One forgets, when you enjoy a place in your travels as much as we have enjoyed the beauty of the country. It is a long flight! We usually have been up and moving for 24 hours when we arrive in Dublin and connect for our flight down to Cork in the south. But every minute of the long and rather uncomfortable flight is well worth it to see our friends and family and those two Grandsons who we cherish deeply. They are the future generation. Here then are some memories from this trip in May, 2003. There is so much to see and do. One, I suppose, never sees it all. ----BT
