Overall, the trip was wonderful. We capped it off with a night out with two uncles in a couple of pubs in the Wicklow Mountains. It should be noted that our habit of drinking the night before an early morning start is not one I would suggest following... yet I still tend to do it.
I spent most of this morning waiting for my stepmom's much slower camera to upload all the pictures onto my laptop only to have the battery die before I was done. The spare battery is back home. Boo-urns. At least I still got a few shots from it before that happened so here's a few photos to whet your appetite.

The rain stops long enough for us to see the Giant's Causeway. I'm very excited by that.

Yay! You're back! J loved her postcard. She carried it around for a few days...Looking forward to the recaps.
I'm glad she liked it! She's actually got a few more coming (three to be exact) but it sounds like the ones that got mailed in Derry and Donegal are taking their sweet time getting here. (The final one was "sent" from the plane by KLM so if it gets there before the other two, hide it until they arrive!)
It looks like you had the trip of a lifetime - just as you should have!
Great post, wonderful photos!! mmmmm pub crawl :)
The literary pub crawl was a lot of fun. I would totally recommend it for anyone who is heading to Ireland and is interested in learning about the many authors from there.
