Getting there is half the battle Friday, September 11, 2009

Wednesday afternoon I board a plane and leave for Britain and Ireland. This is possibly my first real true vacation. Sure I've had days off here and there, mostly spent with family. Short little trips to various locals but never a long, extended trip at a delicious location.

Needless to say I am very excited. So excited it has practically rendered me mute. It's like all the things I want to say about it get clogged up in my throat and all come out as "Aaaaeeeeee!!!!!!"

I've long been an Anglophile so this trip is more than a dream come true it's epic. I'll be staying with some friends in Liverpool and probably taking little day trips all over. I'm a touch concerned since the friends who've graciously put me up are quite the drinkers and as such I'm afraid I'll be known as the yankee plonker who can't hold her drink. I suspect there will be many a drunken shenanagans.

Then mid-week we'll be taking a trip to Ireland. IRELAND.

My personal goal is to meet a cute red-headed fisherman and somehow seduce him. Eventually we'll settle into a little thatched cottage and I'll drink tea (or whiskey) and knit while our adorable redheaded children sit by the peat fire.

Entirely within the realm of reason, no?

    I was so incredibly disappointed with how unattractive I found all of the Irish men when I was there earlier this year. On one talk radio show I was listening to while there, they actually joked about how the Irishmen that are famous in the states are famous because they don't look Irish. Ha. I hope you have better luck (not that I was looking - I have a perfectly handsome husband :))And their accents are still dreamy, even if they're not so pretty to look at.

    You'll love Ireland. It will change your view of life, and you will daydream about it constantly when you get back. Can't wait to hear about it.
