Have you heard where we are headed? Dublin, Ireland!!! Yep, that's right. My homeland is calling. We must have at least a pint of Guiness in the fatherland (literally! My father was born and raised in Ireland; I'm firstborn in the U.S. on his side. :))

Patrick and I are REALLY excited. Our bag is packed (can you believe I fit all our clothes in one carryon? Crazy!), puppy will be taken care of and we have made sure that our employers do not think we've jumped ship.

We'll come back with loads of photos, so prepare yourself. Get some popcorn, maybe a drink and enjoy another long slide show (when it's ready, of course!). :)

Ciao all!
