Our good friend Aaediwen leaves Thursday on his trip to the Emerald Isle! And I am SO jealous! biggrin.gif So does anyone have any last minute suggestions for him?

I only have two. I know that I have suggested it to you before, but let me do so again: Keep a journal! A month or two after things like this, the memories begin to fade, and you begin to feel as though you dreamed, like it never really happened at all. A journal will let you look back years from now and reflect on what you were doing at the moment you wrote each passage.

And second: TAKE LOTSA PICTURES! biggrin.gif

I hope you have a WONDERFUL time! Can't wait to hear all about it when you get back!

Don't drink the water? Can I throw that one in too?

Man this stinks Sir A and Egan are going to Ireland this month of April, what's with dat?

My suggestion is to drink only of the waters that come from either the Guinness or the Tullamore Dew plants. The one is darker than the other but both have grat medicinal powers.

If you get a chance go to bunratty Castle, just outside of the Shannon Airport.

Oh Aaediwen! How wonderful for you! We are very happy (though a bit green as well) and wish you a safe voyage, a magical time there and a safe return. Have a wonderful time!

Posted by: Aaediwen 29-Mar-2005, 09:12 PM
I thank you all biggrin.gif
Over the last few weeks, I've had a feeling everyone else had a better grasp on the reality of this than I've had. I can't say if I will or will not ever log into Highlander Radio while I'm away. But if I do, I'll be sure to give at least some update. Even if only a line or so in the journal.

And before someone has to pull ticket 48119638431442 on my count of people to tell me this.... I plan to bring back several metric craploads of pictures. I'm taking well over 3.5 GB of memory for my dad's camera, and if I find access to transfer them across the Internet then I can upload some of the pics to home and take more if 1000 is not enough. I've got several hundred GB I'll leave online here at the house to upload to. I doubt I'll be waiting long enough for that much to transfer, to fill that at all...

Aaediwen! Wishing you a wonderful journey. will miss you while you are away, but I am sure you will be having such a wonderful time with lots of memories to share with all us and your future generations to come. Can't wait to see your pics! beer_mug.gif

Have a safe and fun trip! I'll be sure to warn the Lassies that you're on your way. smile.gif

12 hours and 30 minutes from now, I should be leaving Lexington, on my way to the Emerald Isle. Is it real yet?

biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

Just doing some final checks. Then I think I'll be off to bed. Got to be up early in the morning.


Ohh, and I will be powering my workstations off while I'm gone. So I will not show in chat. If I show up there, I should be there. until I return from Ireland.

You'll be a changed man when you return. I hope you have the best time of your life and remember to take a moment when you are on the Emerald Isle, take a deep breath, look around and think of us! thumbs_up.gif wink.gif

Be shure and take a power transformer.I just got back on monday and not everywhere has 110 power. Not a big deal except for our battery charger for our camera

Posted by: oldraven 01-Apr-2005, 01:09 PM
Aaed. That is just so awesome. I wish I could be there, man. I'd drag you through the Kilkenny brewery, wether you like it or not. wink.gif And when you look west, over that vast Atlantic, know we're over here, giving you the thumbs up and wishing you the best.

Slainte mhath cheers.gif and all that stuff

Don't worry smile.gif, I've got one. My roommate has one too, and is currently tracking down a replacement fuse while I'm sitting in this Internet cafe smile.gif
Rest assured, I'm definately having a blast! Roaming around the countryside, and walking the streets of the town, I can really see why people chose the places they did to settle. We spent time running around Connemara today, and some of that area looks very like the Applacian foothills.

I think there's a webcam pointed down High street, here in Galway. I'm just around the corner atm and will be wandering that street shortly I think. This is just amazing! I feel like I'm not finding what I expected, but I am finding what I came looking for. I'll probably post here a couple times again before comming home. Depends on how avaliable I can find Internet access when we get to Killarney.

Awwwww, I missed you too, Aaediwen! I am so happy to hear you are having a great time! I bet you are seeing some really awesome beauty there and meeting very nice people. Keep in touch when you can! Did I tell you I was jealous?! tongue.gif laugh.gif

Happy traveling, friend!

Posted by: Aaediwen 05-Apr-2005, 05:25 PM
NO! I'm not comming back wink.gif




Well, at least not for a couple days anyway... And no, I can't type. I blame it on a couple of pints and Larry's keyboard here. Been some long days, got nearly 2 GB of pics. I started thinking to upload some pics, but we don't have a firewiure cable here atm, so sorry. No previews either.

Larry has some online though. He's been maintaining a daily blog of it smile.gif
