AT SEA: The Celebrity Eclipse
Anchors Aweigh COMFY CABIN SATISFYING VIEWS As you can see, even though I got an 85% discount on my cruise, Celebrity really set me up with an amazingly spacious cabin with a view right off the bow of the ship. Even […]
UNITED KINGDOM: Southampton
The Celebrity Eclipse is going to be my ride back to the States. I thought why not, I’ve been chasing all over Europe for the past six months, never in one place for over six days. It’s time for a little R&R. What better way than to chill out for two weeks on a cruise. […]
IRELAND: Dublin Days
Drove into Dublin early to drop off my rental car to save an extra day’s rent. I got checked in a little early at my hostel, and headed up for a nice nap. The weather outside was a bit nasty anyway so I wasn’t missing anything. Definitely just going to take it easy for the […]
IRELAND: Waterford Days
It’s good to finally be caught up with my blog. I’ve been lagging badly since the UK. Waterford should prove to be a nice two day stopover on the way to Dublin. As it turns out, Blarney Castle was right on the way to Waterford so I decided to stop off and visit the Blarney […]
IRELAND: Killarney Days
Here we go again. B&B with sweet innkeepers, check. Comfy bed, check. Good Wifi, check. Laundry, check. Tasty breakfast, check. Oh yeah, and another delicious view. […]
IRELAND: Galway Days
I arrived in Galway in beautiful weather to discover that I had a first class hostel waiting for me. The town itself is a small and manageable college town with loads of pubs and restaurants with fantastic music every night of the week. The Irish music was particularly good and the shops were plentiful and […]
IRELAND: Donegal Days
I rented a car in for the remainder of my time in Ireland. It was a stick on the opposite side so I was a little nervous upon leaving Belfast, but a cute little blond in my hostel assured me I would not regret the decision. She was dead right. I turned on the radio […]
IRELAND: Belfast Days
Belfast is my first taste of Ireland, but because of political reasons it is actually a part of the United Kingdom. For this reason I am not able to claim my 65 countries visited status until I enter the Republic of Ireland when I am in Donegal. At this point I will go from pounds […]
SCOTLAND: Edinburgh – Aye, Laddies and Lassies!
At long last I arrive in a land who’s accents I have been imitating with glee for years. I’m sure I will find more than accents here to keep things interesting though. Speaking of Scotland, one of my favorite Scottish films, “Trainspotting” is up for a sequel reviving some classic Scottish characters, including Ewan McGregor in his […]
UNITED KINGDOM: Liverpool – Birthplace Of The Beatles
I just had to make a pit stop in Liverpool to see where the Mersey Beat sparked a creative explosion that was felt all around the world. This was ground zero for the classic rock that was spawned out of the ’60s. Before I hopped on the Beatle Bus I strolled around the city. BEATLES […]
