I can't even express how excited I am about this. First of all, we desperately need the time alone and away from the children. The longest we've ever been alone is about 2 days. This time we will be gone an entire week! Of course I worry about little things like who's going to keep the littlest C during the day while we are away---but I'm sure it will all work out. I'm already going through my checklist:
Passports-check
Backpacks-check
travel locks-check
scheduling bill payments and mail holding-check
making arrangements for the pets-check
books about Ireland-check
pics of tattoos we want while we are there-check
(Mom, I threw that last one in just to get you. Of course we are more responsible than that! heehee)
I'm sure some of you can relate to my OCD mentality. It's just so hard to remember everything, and I certainly don't want to get over there and panic because I forgot my makeup or our Ipod chargers. Ugggggg
The fun part of this whole trip is that we will be backpacking during the day and then staying in the Ritz Carlton at night. I'm sure we'll get plenty of looks for that. Oh, and of course we'll be checking out the pubs. Ha!
I'm going to be reading up on Ireland for the next few weeks--I'm one of those who likes to be prepared when I travel. Ok, I haven't really ever "traveled" like this, but whatever.
Now, about the Longhorns...
As you can see, I do, in fact, own a burnt orange shirt. I do occasionally enjoy watching the UT Longhorns play during their regular season, but I am in no way a die hard fan. Something you need to know about me and John right now is this: Neither of us really enjoy watching sports on tv. There, I said it. We like to take in a Rangers game and would even like to watch the Cowboys play live, but to watch anything like that on tv is just not our thing. I will make an exception tonight, though, for the Longhorns. They are in the Rose Bowl, and it promises to be a good game. John is on shift so I think I'm safe to watch it. :)

I'm sure you've thought of this, but make sure you find out exactly what kind of convertor you need to be able to plus said ipod into to keep from blowing it up. And you will LOVE Ireland. Definitely on my list of places I want to go back to.
I just checked on you and your BLOGGING again and I'm SO happy about this :) I hope that 2010 is what you need it too be too and you and the hubs have a great trip!! What fun :) So glad that you are back :)
