Getting excited
Okay, I'm finally started to get very excited for my Ireland trip this month. For those who know me I like planning. I enjoy it. I do not enjoy rushing and then forgetting an item. No, I usually first write down what I think I may need. Then the O.C.D kicks in...I categorize. You know what I mean, I put them in groups, ie: Toiletries, Miscellaneous, Shoes...etc
My friend and I, really mostly her, have been discussing or frustratingly thinking of what the hell do you bring on a trip like this. We have come up with nothing much. We've got boots and definitely an umbrella. W.T.F, I have never had an issue packing. This trip is too far away for the anxiety to build. I must admit that it is...sigh. Sadly, I am not certain I am prepared for this trip.
A few Saturday nights ago, my cousin came over and we had tacos/chicken fajitas night. I made a fantastic margarita with Hennesey- yes Hennesey; and it was delicious! I digress... We discussed many things that night. In the midst of this we decided to watch a movie...P.S. I Love You. Have you seen it? I recommend. It is a tear jerkier, & I have seen this movie many times and each and every time I get caught up. It is romance. One reason I love the movie is the beautiful scenery, it is set in New York and Ireland. It depicts Ireland as lush bright and downright breathtaking. That night I was intensively watching what the characters wore in Ireland. Hats, scarves, pull over sweaters, jeans, rain boots, trench coats, hiking boots---how am I to pack all of stuff? Heavy stuff!
So, I have been on a quest to find out everything I can, regarding packing for such a trip. I really didn't think i would find too much; it is too broad of a subject. But blow my mind Sally, I have found some interesting, informative stuff. Things that I haven't even thought about: like I may need a small flashlight that I can carry around, cause if I'm out exploring and it gets dark (apparently it gets very dark out there) I can still get around.That you need to bring your own shopping bags cause they don't use plastic bags. They use a cotton-like bag which due to the weather of that country -rainy- can rip easily.
Suffice it to say, my mind is a bit at ease having an overview of what I may need. The rush of it all still makes me giddy.
I am going going Ireland!!!!
I want to see St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin Castle, Glendalough, Belfast, Cliffs of Moher, Blarney and Cork Castle...go on many pub crawls - I mean when in Ireland, become an Irish "Las" *sp.
Singing to myself & doing the flash dance and pelvic thrusts, "I'm so excited and I just can't hide it....I know, I know, I know...."
