Well folks, in just about 2 weeks and I will be winging my way to Ireland and England. Many of you know that I have made similar trips before. My last one was two years ago and I went to England, The Netherlands, Belgium and France.
My friend and I cycled around the country, camped out or stayed at youth hostels, and generally came and went when and as we pleased. No schedule, no constraints, no pressure.
This year we will be starting in Dublin, as the airfare was much cheaper to fly into Dublin versus London. It will be interesting to attend an open mic called "Milk & Cookies" in Dublin, just a few days after we arrive. Can't wait to soak up some of the Irish storytelling culture, then ferry over to England.
I'll be spending time in Salisbury (near Stonehenge) and then cycling across the country to Canterbury, one of my favorite places. It's like one big street fair every day with tourists and vendors crowding the streets and enjoying themselves (as long as the rain stays away!). I leave May 10th and return June 12th - that's right 4 1/2 weeks! Can't wait.
For those who wish, you may follow me on my blog. I'll be posting almost every day (or as often as possible). If you want to read about my previous trips, you can do that as well.
