Aw shucks, Michelle, you have certainly given me much more than I've been able to give back! I would love to pop back in here after our trip to Ireland and chat with folks planning their trips. I still enjoy chatting with folks on boards about Costa Rica and Italy (past trips)... And besides Ireland is special to me because that's where my beloved grandmother came from...I feel like I've already got roots in Ireland. Plus I like your web-site, it's very friendly.

Besides I have to have more than one trip to Ireland...I can call it research, after all, I do have big plans to write up a book on our family geneology to pass onto my children and grand-children...
