Galway

We made it here and we hit the ground running. We arrived a bit early, which was great because we got to see the Cliffs of Moher (outstanding) and even got to take a boat around the base of the cliffs! Not everyone quite had their sea legs as the water was very rough down there, but the view from there was breathtaking! We'll post pictures soon. We got into the hotel early last night to unwind and get a good night's sleep so today we're all re-charged and ready to go. Today we're off to see the city of Galway and the Connemara region.

Slainte!

Who's Excited?

We leave in 10 days! Holy leprechauns, are you ready for the adventure?

What's the one thing you should remember when packing?

(wait for it)


Pack light, friends. Pack light. If you don't expressly need it, don't bring it. If it's a last-minute-just-in-case-I'll-need-it item, it can stay put. If you don't bring something that you need, you can probably find it (that, or you don't really need it). Europeans and Brits are generally civilized people who enjoy the same niceties we do when it comes to hygiene (with certain exceptions, sure). You'll be fine.

Don't forget to exchange some money ahead of time to make your life easier, but ATMs are easy to use a readily available across the pond. Also, you will need to tip our awesome Tour Director, David. They say he's worth $6 a day (translate that to his local currency: pounds and we're looking at 3-4 pounds per day). I know it's an added expense, but he'll be worth it. They work HARD, I tell you.
