Our plans for the journey...

We're still busy getting ready for our trip. Matt started back to school tonight. Yuck! We got a lot done over the weekend. Thanks to so many of you who have offered advice, help, rides and crazy stuff you need when traveling to Europe. We really appreciate it!

Our plans are as follow:

• Get up very early on Saturday morning to fly to Dublin, by way of a couple of stops in the U.S.
• Arrive in Dublin on Sunday morning and hopefully stay awake for the rest of the day.
• Stay in Dublin for 3 nights.
• Pick up a rental car (a Ford Focus...woo hoo...we travel to Europe, just to ride in a car made in my hometown) and drive around the southern part of the country in a counter-clockwise fashion for the next 6 days. We'll drive through and stay at some of the following cities/counties/attractions: Kildare, McEvoy's Pub (Hazelhatch), Galway, Cliffs of Moher, Green’s Pub (Kinvara), Claddagh, Shannon, Limerick, Dingle, Tralee, Banna Strand (Balleyheigue), Ring of Kerry, Kenmare, Killarney, Cork, Blarney, Waterford and back to Dublin.
• Fly out of Dublin and arrive back in Memphis on Tuesday, September 12. But, for those of you who we work with, don't expect us in the office until Thursday. We built in an extra day to get caught up!

Please keep us in your prayers as we prepare to go on this very special trip! Pray for our travels and safety as we navigate around a foreign country!

We're excited to head to Ireland!

Well, here we are.

Matt and I have joined the blogging world. What better opportunity do we have than to begin our blogging with our upcoming trip to Ireland? We are super excited to visit the "Motherland" and check out a cool culture. Stay tuned and we'll try to journal our experiences and share some pics with you!
