Ireland, Scotland, Lake District - then exciting European destinations to follow.

Preparing for our Journey 

It is less than four weeks before we depart.  I figured this blog (which has been dormant for over two years) would be a good way for me to diary the daily events, and share to my family and friends.  So here goes........

Booked:)
This morning I have been in contact with Anita, who lives near Enniskillen, Northern Ireland. We got to know this lovely lady when she shifted to Timaru after the Christchurch earthquakes, but has since returned to her Irish homeland.  
We have booked two nights in her gorgeous cottage -  http://stunningshamrockcottage.com/; she is full of exciting ideas how we (and her) can fill our time. So much to see, so little time.....she has more knowledge than Lonely Planet!!

Doug trying to condense 768 pages into 21 days!!

My blip buddy Amanda (freespiral) sent us this book she has written with enticing information along with lovely photos of her area. 
Clever lady, she successfully has whetted our appetite, and are staying in a B & B nearby.

Information overload!
