2024 Summer in Ireland and the UK
Ed and I have been planning and anticipating this trip for over six months and finally we are on our way! As I start the blog we wait in the United Polaris Lounge for our overnight flight. We hope to get some sleep as we hope to walk part of Dublin tomorrow. Dublin is the first stop in Ireland. Subsequent countries will be Northern Ireland, Scotland and England. We are off!!
