O’Honeymoon

My fiancé and I love road trips.

The first two pictures were taken on our first adventure, a two week journey from Louisiana to California, and back again to visit my brother and his family in Louisiana.  The next three are from a month long trip that included stops in Florida, Tennessee, DC, Boston, Philadelphia, NYC, Niagara Falls and Chicago, to name a few.

Not only do we love combining multiple destinations into one vacation, by mid-May, we are pretty much sick of warm Louisiana weather.  Around here, the temperature reaches into the mid 80’s with 100% humidity by late March.   Needless to say, unlike most honeymooners, sipping fruity cocktails at a tropical resort does translate into the trip of a lifetime to us.

It’s only fitting that our honeymoon take us on a road-trip around one of the dreariest places in the world:  Ireland!  We’ll be renting a car and making a loop of Southern Ireland, starting and ending in Dublin.  Luckily, my fiance is half British so he’s got right-side driving in his blood.  On our to-do list: surfing, horseback riding on the beach, a fjord cruise, hiking, biking, and lots of time spent in pubs visiting with the locals and listening to traditional Irish music.  Check out a few of the places we’ll be visiting:

LOVE Ireland! I’ve been 4 or 5 times, and it’s not as dreary as you’d think! Lots of suggestions come to mind…feel free to email me!

I was in Ireland for two days – and I must say the Cliffs of Moher are a must! Though I think, judging by the pictures, they may be on your list already! The town near the Cliffs is small and quaint – and you can really get to know the people if you stop in for lunch.
