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 ...

... to the highest edge. <br><br>Of course, our group would be determined to cross this edge and we marched our way along the Atlantic in a way that I have never walked the shore before. The boys were more determined to hike further, so us girls stayed behind to capture the moment. Little did we know they had bigger plans to depants and show the world. I guess it was for the best we stayed back. <br><br>Galway was a different ...

... Breakfast everywhere in this overly expensive country is 10 euros alone, so why not get the mini luxury of a B and B, privacy, cleanliness, and hospitality and catering...all for in reality, 10 euros! We went to the first place we saw, got a price, and bartered the sweet old man down 10 euros each. Beautiful breakfast in the morning included. <br><br>So it wouldnt be a normal day if we didnt get lost for minimum an hour in Ireland ...

... both regular stores and tourist shops. I never felt overly compelled to buy much, as Ireland is feeling the effects of the crisis hard and is ridiculously expensive. After we got our fill of shopping in, we again decided that we needed more authentic Irish Subway, so we got subs to go and headed back to the hostel to eat. <br><br>After everyone as fed and showered, we decided to do the Guinness Factory tour. It was kind of on ...

... the carlsbad caverns, but i guess thats me just being spoiled. Then we went on to the Cliffs of Moher and what a beautiful site! I have to say that we could not have picked a more perfect day! It was a bit cloudy when we first got there but the sun came out quickly and It was absoloutly gorgeous. In Palos Verdes we have alot of cliffs, but they really have nothing on these bad boys. They were absoloutly HUGE! (215 meters high to be exact) It was ...

... here. They look kind of cool actually when the fields are sectioned off along a hill with stone. Walking along this path all alone, I kind of had the spirit of Forrest Gump in me. I just felt like walking. I eventually saw a tower through the haze of rain and decided that would be my turn-around point. After I think like 2 hours of walking, I made it to the tower which was pretty neat. I have no idea how old it was but it ...

... has little understanding of the situation so William and I played with him for awhile. He has the coolest toys. His K-Nex? Come on now. My generation had none of these! I went to bed shortly after we put Charlie up for the night. I couldn't believe I was going to bed the same time as a 4yr old, but I was completely pooped from the weekend and of course had work in the morning. Fun.<br><br>2 weeks of Ireland are officially over...<br>

... don't fall. Libbee went first, and did a great job of pashing the stone whilst being held and tickled by the Irish man, and boy is she ticklish. Now it came to me... By this stage I think I had worked myself into a slight panic attack and as the lovely Irish man tried to help me go upside down I freaked out big time. By this stage there are about 25 people queuing up behind us. He helped me back up, helped to get ...

... playing in a reserved booth. Everyone gathers around and soaks it in. Tonight we met a couple from Donegal, a guy from Minnesota, a couple from France and a couple from Seattle. What a great time!

... dialogue by the figures. Their positions spoke volumes about the important items in the Catholic faith. Unfortunately, that silent, simple message is buried both literally and figuratively by the loudspeakers positioned throughout the grandiose complex that is Knock today.<br><br>However, before I get too preachy, I have to refer again to the books on the Knock apparition. They stress that at the time of the apparition, Knock was in one of poorest regions of Ireland . So ...
