Well, what can I say. Lots of things I think. The short version for today since free/cheap internet is hard to find. The hotel started out as what appeared to be a terrible diasaster. I am happy to report that the manager,Darren, came through and lived up to the service standards that one should expect from Marriott. Our room had no AC and there were no other rooms available. Normally not a problem but there is a heat wave going on. The room was about 85. Darren came up with a solution and to...

Ok. Yesterday was a quick update. Here
are more details
it was a bright and sunny day. I
didn't think I would be saying that two days in a row. All the
stories I read were doom and rain. Well, it is a heat wave here.
Over 70 for at least the last two days. And it looks like it again
tomorrow. When we got to our room, it was hot and stuffy. After
being in air conditioning on the plane and train and cold it was a
mild relief...
Today we hoped on a bus tour around the
Connemara area. It was nice to sit back and let someone else tell us
what we should know. The guide was a nice touch. I hate to say it
but sometimes it is worth it for a guide to tell you the details. But
there are still times when wandering on your own is nice.
We saw lots of things today. The
highlight was Kylemore Abbey. It was originally built by a family who
had some money an ...
As we were arriving in Ireland for the first time, the plane descended very smoothly. Despite that, my ears hurt terribly. I personally believe that everyone's ears felt the same way, but one can never be sure of those things. However as we walked into Shannon airport, they were much better.
The airport was rather nice, but we needed our strollers, and they were behind a locked door. (And they put a tag that said "Immediate Delivery at Aircraft"!) We finally got them. We then went to th...

This was the day we went to Connemarra. It was also the day my Mom and sister Maggie were sick. Uncle Barry, Aunt Erin, Grammy, and Dad took Matt, Connor, Kerry, and myself there. We spent the day hiking in the Connemara Mountains. After that we went to Kylemore Abby. On the way back we stopped at a tourist shop and Grammy bought Kerry and me tiny, porcelain, Irish dolls.
After that, we went to Patricia and Jerry's house again for a family party. Lots of relatives were...

... cliffs. If the height isn't awe-inspiring enough, the proximity in which you can approach the edge is. Walking along the edge has proven to be one of the most outrageous things I have done to this day. You litearlly walk along this cliff edge and look down only to see a complete vertical drop to the ocean. Most of it is fenced off, but there is a certain area that those who are willing enough can cross over and hike their way ...

... museum itself was built into a section in (or very near?) the parliament building, so that was pretty cool. It has some very intricate, unique architecture inside. Also inside was a very complete history of Ireland, starting around 10,000 BCE. Although finding the placards that were in English (as opposed to Gaelic) was a little difficult, they did a really good job summarizing what everything was. It was really easy to follow ...

... you could really experience the cliffs. There were cattle and sheep on one side and the sheer cliffs on the other... it really made me feel like I was a part of nature and Ireland as a whole. Look through some of the pictures to see what Im talking about. Overall it was a fantastic trip and with the group rate we got for bringing like 12 kids it only ended up costing like 20 euro the entire day and I need all the budget saving trips that I can get!<br>
