Becketts Hotel Leixlip

... annoyed, at my constant comments about Brett looking so young, and I mean young - like 15-18 year old! But I guess that clearly does not matter when you have talent like that. He had a guy come and play guitar and piano with him too.<br><br>A lovely night of a few beers and fabulous music - well worth the little &euro;13.50 ticket!

... a high of 50 degrees expected. We saw a smaller port, with a more country setting than in Dublin. Cobh is a quaint fishing village, where one can walk around and check out the shops and a museum. The museum pays tribute to the Titanic and Lusitania. Cobh was the last port of call for the Titanic before its ill-fated transatlantic crossing, and the Lusitania was gunned down and sunk 12 miles outside Kinsale in 1915 by a German U-boat. There ...

... with the visa application for Max for Australia when the time comes. We will need to demonstrate that we are in a committed and continuing relationship and from what I can tell at the moment any evidence like that will help. We are looking forward to Ellie, our friend from England (that we met in Canada), coming to visit at the start of April for the weekend. It will be a nice change and good to have some great company and a good catch up.

... them - giving us proper cards instead. I think she liked Chris the best and even spoke a little French to her. With our bags checked through all the way to Colombo we headed through security. After a little shopping in Boots where I topped up the Lemsip quantity we headed for our first exotic part of the holiday - lunch in O'Neills pub. **** soup and off to eventually catch our Qatar flight to Doha, Qatar. Plane was superb - very comfy and ...

India virgins no more...a whirlwind 3 weeks leading up to departure is now behind us as the uneventful flight from London Heathrow touches down in Mumbai. We wait for our luggage to appear on the carousel and, as yet, are unaware to what lies outside. Easing through security, our first glimpses of outside life allow a moment of reflection that our adventure is underway. I was expecting chaos to hit us full on upon leaving the safety of the terminal yet, it's relatively calm ...

... Book of Kells contains the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, in Latin, transcribed by monks living on the island of Iona in Scotland in 800. The pages are intricately decorated and it was very interesting. (One of the colors used could only be obtained from the body of a pregnant bug from I believe, France.) I visited the Kilmainham Goal jail where the leaders of the easter rising of 1916 were executed. It is also one of the largest unoccupied ...

... but then we saw some child ******* on the fruit stand; that was awesome. At the meat store we wanted some chicken and the butcher did us a deal and gave us about double of what we wanted for the same price as normal. Not bad. We went home and I made my now-famous pie. It is famous across Europe because I have made it in Lithuania and in England - soon I will have my own TV show ala Jamie Oliver. Some mates of Renee came over - Dave from Melbourne and Suz, his girlfriend who ...

... a very good time, and I would like to go back to see more of the countryside because what I did see was so beautiful. I had a bad head cold when I went there so things could've been better, but I managed to pull through and enjoy myself nonetheless. On the way there, I sat by an older gentleman on the plane. He was an Irish property buyer. He was very kind and kept flirting with me, telling me he wanted to take me to Spain and Cyprus on holiday. It was ...

Ten days to go and I can't wait! I have a backpack and a couple of other things although to be honest I'm ill prepared. This may be a reoccuring theme throughout my journey! I've read alot about the countries I'm visiting although I'm not sure I remember any of it! Anyway I'll just wing it and see what happens! I'll try and update this every ...

... gereël in die hotel. Daar deel ek 'n tafel met die ouens van Jamaica, Ivory Coast en Argentine. Ek kuier lekker saam met die ouens en vind ook uit dat ek die jongste CEO in die wêreld op die oomblik is. Ek is 23 en die ou van Jamaica in 25. So die verskil is klein. En my span speel later die jaar World Cup. 'n Ander fuksie wat ons bygewoon het is 'n gathering wat die goewerneur van Ireland vir ons gereël het. Dit was 'n deftige storie, met shampanje en die hele toetie. Die ...
