Title: The Grass Is Greener
Post by: Captain Smollett on December 26, 2005, 11:33:53 PM
My dream destination, the trip I am "training" for, is to cross the Atlantic to Ireland.  I want to visit the County Caven, the seat of my ancestry.  I often wonder if I will ever return from such a trip however.

Then I remember that old adage: "The Grass Is Greener on the Other Side."  When the other side is Ireland, however, it just MIGHT be true.

Methinks it would be hard to escape the gravitational pull of the Irish pubs and the oh-so-pleasingly accented Irish lasses... Be careful. ;D

You know it!  ;D

In Aurora, Co., I lived within walking distance of the Shebeen Pub on Iliff Blvd.  Many, many a night involved navigation by luck just to get back home!

An Atlantic crossing and Irish circumnavigation would be pretty danged exciting! Joining in on the Jester Challenge out of Portsmouth England to get back home to the U.S. would really put a feather in it!
Much to be desired in that one!    http://www.jesterinfo.org/
