The trip

Sooooo...Ricky and I rolled the dice, pulled the trigger, took the plunge...we are taking a BIG trip.
We haven't taken a BIG trip in a few years.  Don't get me wrong, we have taken some awesome trips since we got married, mostly to the Caribbean, to some fabulous island paradise, to lounge by the pool or on the beach and lavish in the womb of an all inclusive resort.  This trip is an Adventure! Ok. maybe not that much of an adventure,  but still a very different travel experience for us as a couple.
We are taking a tour of Scotland and Ireland.  And yes, with a group, in a bus, so we don't have to drive and get lost and circle like we always do when, well, you know. I'm pumped!
Ricky and I both did the 23 and Me DNA testing, and found out we are mostly Irish and English.  We are taking a trip to the Mother land,  The Emerald Isle, the Scottish Highlands.  Our Celtic origins are waiting to be discovered!  Now starts the micro-planning experience.  If you have ever traveled with Ricky you understand.  We are studying our itinerary every night, like avid students, vicariously soaking in every detail.  This trip will be taken in anticipation many times.  Here's to hoping that fate, the weather, good luck, and Lady Fortune will be with us on this adventure.  Off into the yonder we will go adventuring!
