Rachel got her new passport in the mail last week (yay!) so we can officially leave the country! I found my electricity current converter and plug adapters so we can use the electricity in Ireland without blowing anything up. Now, I am on a quest to buy a laptop to take along. If I don't, I'll be the only one in the hotel room at night without a way to update my blog without begging to use Rachel's or Tiffany's :)
Anyway, I need to start with the packing plan -- I have a coat, but I'm thinking I need new walking shoes (buy early and break in!!!) and pants. I was thinking of just wearing skirts because they'd be easier, but who knows what the wind will be like? Hate to pull a "Marilyn Monroe" in the Connemara or something.
I went to Half Price Books last week and bought Ireland For Dummies after about a 2-hour review of nearly every Ireland travel guide book in the place. It has history and current culture and some good tips...not as many pretty pictures and no fold-out maps...but since I am not planning the itinerary on this trip, I am forgoing the "gotta see this" list and just trying to absorb as much about the country as possible before we leave. Pronouncing the Irish language is still elusive for me...gotta work on that!
I'm scared of how fast September is going to go. I just know that tomorrow I'll wake up and look at the calendar and find it's actually October 1st instead of September 1st!!!
