So today is the day my mother and i leave for Ireland. I'm leaving right from work. i hope i have everything i need. i'm catching up on junk and tying up loose ends here. i hope i remember to do everything, so when i get back next monday i won't have some shitstorm to sort out.
So this is our rough itinerary. we have lots of things to to. everyone says, boy that's a long flight for a short trip, but it's really not, the flight is only about 5 hours. the flight to orlando from logan is 3.5 hours. and i don't mind saying, if i'm gonna shell out $1500 for a vacation, it won't be orlando.

I'm going to try to post a web journal at cybercafes and what have you, but i might not be able to do so. one thing i like to do is send a post card to myself every day of the trip. you know, write it at the end of the evening, andthen post it the following morning, that makes a nice travel journal, and then you know you'll get at least one good photo a day.
more news later!
About Me
- kmsmaverick
- I am a simple person. I do not like complication. I like a balanced checkbook, and prompt answers to questions. I am a fan of National League Baseball; but not of any NL team. Soccer and baseball are my favorites, I could watch them all day, Football is ok, but only on sunday afternoons when the Patriots are playing, otherwise, I'll take it or leave it. I love to travel, and I love knowing and learning about far away places and the people who live there. It could be general nosiness, but i'm not sure. I like to sew. i like to make purses and bags. If you need one, let me know. I cannot abide with mean spirited people, and i do my best to not hang around with them or to become one myself. Kindness is much easier to express than unkindness. I find that it really is hard, lonesome work to be a jerk.
