Well, I have finally sat down and figured out when I am
planning my trip. Its still a year away, but I am so excited!!
I'm planning to finally get over to Ireland next July. I'm
planning on staying about a week (6/8/11 to 6/18/11). I
plan on starting out around Dingle and then seeing where
things take me. I have started taking Irish lessons for
when I go visit, so yeah, I am getting VERY EXCITED about
going.

their nationality. I have had friends who identify themselves
as Japanese Americans, African Americans, German Americans,
English Americans, etc
