Snap Krackle 'n Pop!: What is worth finding, is worth seeking..... Our Ireland Sojourn!

If you love castles, rolling green hills, and on the far side, ghosts, then Ireland is a great place to visit!

According to our girl Juls, one night during our vacation there she opted to go for a walk around ten when she started witnessing paranormal activity in her room. The other three of us had gone into the town of Adare for dinner and drinks, when on our way back to the manor we saw a lone figure walking on the long dark road to town. The girl had walked quite the distance. Because she was tired from all the touring we did earlier in the day, Juls had chosen to stay behind at the manor that night.

For me, Ireland is one of my three favorite places in the world. Yup, you heard right—my three favorite in the world. The other two being Puerto Rico and Israel because of sentimental attachments to both, in addition to their insular compositions, their tasty food, and their friendly people.

We visited Ireland four years ago and we absolutely loved everything about it. We were lucky to get a once in a lifetime deal of a package, which included airfare, accommodations, and a car rental, all for under $800 each. True that the it took a little getting used to driving a standard car on the wrong side of the road, but our girl Cristina was up for the challenge. I drove the car for a mere two seconds, from the rental place to the airport exit, from where Tina took over the steering wheel.

We couldn't have been more pleased with our Ireland sojourn. Because we had 'wheels' we were able to explore parts of Ireland that we wouldn't normally have.

Consider Ireland when planning your next vacation or getaway, but do try to go when it's summer there. We visited the second week of September and we couldn't have asked for better weather. Only two days of rain—the day we arrived, and the day we left.
