Ireland for St. Patty's Day

Kristie · February 16th, 2007, 23:02

TheShortOne and I are heading to Ireland for St. Patty's day (3/17) which lucky for us - is a SATURDAY...Either Dublin or Shannon depending on which loads are better...hopefully Dublin since they have the big parades/parties and so forth!

Anyone else want to tag along? we're leaving on Thursday, coming back that Sunday...

There's nothing like Ireland Guinness...very different from what we drink here in the States.

How are loads possibly going to be open?

Kristie · February 16th, 2007, 23:30

I've been there before.. loads are open because a lot of americans tend to want to stay home and celebrate..not go abroad.. believe it or not, 2 years ago, we didn't have a single problem trying to get over there the day before. but once we got there, we found out we missed the parade which is why we're going one day earlier.

btw...just found out the cure for the hangover is an irish coffee.

You + Em-Doug

yup.. most likely, he'll be studying and he's ok with me jaunting off without him. he might be able to go, depends on how much he gets accomplished before hand.. .but if we have a good group of people going, then I'll feel better about me going without him kwim?!

i don't think i could stay home for 3 months while he studies and goes for training, i'd go stir crazy fer sure!

Cool, if I didn't have a j-o-b I'd tag along. You and Em are my "hags." Oooooh, maybe I'll get a job with Mesa, then I'll fly for free!

Considering I'm going to the ER, it's not like my ONLY chance to go to Ireland!

I spent a few hours in shannon intl last year on st pattys day. On our way to Iraq we had a brief layover in shannon and we all had a few pints before getting back on the plane at the local bar across from the duty free shop

it was short but pretty cool to be in Ireland on that day

i've been trying to figure out what i wanna do for my birthday (16th) for a few weeks now. this sounds like a hell of an idea!

Look for the University of Tennessee Pride of the Southland Marching Band in the Dublin Parade. My daughter will be carrying the banner in the front -- she'll be the one in the center.

I'd certainly like to go, but I don't have a March schedule yet, so I don't know. Offline jumpseating over the Atlantic would be an adventure.

Maybe you could take some pictures for me.

Kristie · February 19th, 2007, 01:01

we can do that!

you'll have to let me know what line she's in, what instrument and general description so i can get a direct photo too!

amorris311 · February 19th, 2007, 01:20

i think if memory serves me correct she is the first line that carries the banner. now i could be wrong but i think i remember him posting a photo or two.

Maybe I'll drop a note in Clo's file tomorrow at work. Last I saw her, she said she was always interested in traveling home!

Even speaks Gaelic!
