Say Hello to my "Options"

Tomorrow we Fly!.. but Tonight we Pack

Excluding Canada (mind you, I love Canada..aye), I have never been out of the country. I have never been immersed in a completely different culture, converted currency or packed for a week where I have no idea what to expect; so, knowing (or not knowing) this, my goal of packing light has gone out the window. I have packed for comfort but, lets be serious, I need options. But, for my first time packing abroad, I'd give myself a solid A- (we'll see how that fluctuates post trip).

Since this is my first experience out of the country, and I want to remember it as thoroughly as possible. I have created this blog to do just that. The cheek-and-tongue title is suppose to illustrate my non-existent Irish roots. My dark hair, brown eyes and awkward American disposition is going to quickly give me away. 

I want to talk to as many people as possible. My goals are to to over-saturate my experience with knowledge of the Irish culture, come back with red hair and document it all on here.

Here's where things get tricky. I am bringing my Kindle Fire over my cumbersome laptop, so typing is going to be a tad difficult and time consuming-- I can only touch type for so long. I also don't know how much down time I will have to write. So 1 of 3 things will happen:
  1. Everything works out fabulously and I will have a snazzy blog full of experiences and pictures (this may be an unlikely scenario).
  2. I won't be able to write and instead will post all my beautiful pictures; therefore, making my blog a virtual photo album (highly possible).
  3. OR I won't have access to Wi-Fi and/or the ability to post any photos.... and *sigh* this will be a very lonely post (hopefully this is worst case scenario). 

Let's hope for the best & may the luck of the Irish be with this blog!
