After a noisy night at the hostel, we woke early to get a head start on using the kitchen. Our plan worked as we were the only ones up and cooking. With breakfast done and lunches made we headed off for today's adventures. We drove along the coast to a small town called Doolin, where …

The Green Team
We all had a great night's sleep at the house, waking to make a nice breakfast, lunch and packed up the car. We headed north out of Tobercurry. We aimed first for the town of Foxford to see the woolen mill. I thought it would provide a good juxtaposition to all the handweaving. Unfortunately, the …
The Neolithic Way
We began the day a mite earlier to get a head start. Up before the hostel crowd got to the kitchen, so we had the place to ourselves making breakfast and preparing our lunch for the road. Packed up we headed off toward Donegal town. We reached there rather quickly, considering we weren't on the …

However, the 8 bed room we were assigned was clean and the bunks were comfortable enough. Only one other resident had come …
On to Ireland
Well, someone crazy booked an early morning flight from Reykjavik to Dublin. Yeah, that would be me. It's why we chose to stay at the old base by the airport. It still necessitated a 0330 wakeup to be ready for the 0430 shuttle to the airport. All went rather well, though I think fewer machines …
The Next Adventure
Actually, it will be three adventures in one! My daughter, Mandy, turned 30 a few months ago so I decided we needed to do something remarkable to commemorate the event. It took a bit of talking, but I finally convinced her partner, Kevin, that he should join us. We have talked about going to Ireland …
