Due to a number of reasons, my travel plans have changed.<br><br>Now, I will be leaving on November 10th, to arrive in Delhi.<br>I'll spend 4 weeks in India then fly from Chennai to Singapore on December 8th.<br><br>I will travel overland through Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Singapore and China, then fly out of Hong Kong to Perth on March 11th.<br> <br>I will send 7 weeks high-tailing it through Australia before leaving from Brisbane to go to New Zealand on ...

Day 3 led us up north a bit along the Atlantic Ocean to the Cliffs of Moher and Galway. <br><br>If you haven't heard anything about the Cliffs, I would highly recommend researching and visiting as soon as possible. The weather is a bit temperamental but it is honestly one of the world's most beautiful places. The cliffs are 100s of feet above sea level. They overlook the Atlantic and the water can be seen splashing up against the ...

So we spent the day travelling to Cliffs of Moher and the Burren. They drive on the narrowest roads here, 100km/hr. Honestly, we can barely do that in Canada on the 401 without getting in a million accidents led alone little five foot wide streets. It is unreal how many cows and sheep there are in this country. They are evvvvvvvvverywhere. So we originally had a 6-bedroom hostel booked for Galway, but instead, obviously, we decided that ...

... minute s deal, accompanied by a free shot with every drink after that. It cost 12 euro. While admittedly that was a good deal if you were looking to get plastered, I wasn't really interested in dragging myself through Ireland and onto an airplane the next day after a night like that. Kaity, Ryan, Sarah and Steve all decided to do the pub crawl, while Hannah, Jessica and I headed out somewhere a little less crazy. We ended up finding ...

Sorry I havent posted in about a month... I have been very busy, but mostly I've just been lazy and my internet really sucked before so I couldnt upload pictures. However now it is fixed and I am hoping to do alot of bloggong in the next couple of days, so we'll see. Lets step back in time to Sept 20th. Me and the rest of the Villanova kids decided to do a tour of The Burren. This included the Cliffs of Moher, the Aillwee caves, and Dunguaire Castle ...

... weather was still quite wet when we arrived in Doolin but the forecast for the next day was fair so we decided to enjoy Doolin and wait until Wednesday to sight-see the local treasures.<br>We had a nice lunch in Gus O'Conner's pub in the village. They told us music makers would be there from 4-7 so we decided to drive around looking for a B&amp;B with a great view and come back at 4 for the music. <br>Jim was taking side roads ...

... going to really REALLY chuck it down, so we got a quick photo of the Cliffs of Moher, as opposed to climbing up the risky cliff edge path that we were going to. You could see the Aran Islands from where we were as well, and they were really pretty.<br><br>I wasn't impressed by the Cliffs of Moher though. I think I'd built up such massive expectations of them, I was disappointed. Plus we saw AMAZING cliffs on day 2 that far outshone them - stay tuned ;-)

... entering into it and seeing how I can be of service to an agency. <br> <br>If you or anyone you know can recommend contacts, great organizations, or networking opportunities in the international relief and development field, I would be indebted. My resume has been updated and is available, upon request.<br><br>Especially now, it is not so much what you know, as who you know. Therefore, thank you, in advance, for your help!<br><br>Love,<br>Heather

... the river to the other part of town is quite impressive. It must have been equally impressive to King James II's forces in their battle with William of Orange's forces during the Glorious Revolution to determine who would sit on the British throne. William's forces won; but not before James' forces used the castle's cannons to blow up large portions of the town on the other side of the river. The whole story is detailed in story boards located on the battlements.<br><br ...
