With only a two hour drive to our next destination we've plenty of time for a detour and a couple of stops along the way. It's not such a long way to Tipperary and Dunmanway, along the route seemed a promising place to find some postal stamps and some nourishment. We...
This little house overlooking Bantry Bay is aptly named. Incredible views out of every window. For the first time we had to draw straws for our room assignments! It's truly the vacation home of someone who loves to share the joy and who loves whimsy. Wallpapered walls...
New moon and eight tandem kayaks on Castlehaven Bay are ingredients for an absolutely magical experience! We checked into our lodgings in Bantry and did another picnic style supper. As evening drew upon us we set out for our midnight adventure. At Reen Pier we met...
What an experience, to have a Harris's Hawk land on your gloved hand! Or even better, to swoop immediately over your head to capture a bit of quail meat offered by a falconer! We met John of Killarney Falconry at a designated spot along the roadside near Coolcorcoran...
As we were northbound on R519 just south of Ballingarry, Co. Limerick, we spotted an ice cream cone sign and quickly wheeled in to the car park, piled out, and trooped into Snow's Country Store where our choice was a plain ice cream cone or a Flake 99. The poor...
Heading south from Ennistimon we chose to avoid the motorway and found ourselves stopping to visit the village of Quin, we stopped at the little park and tossed some coins into the fountain to assure our return, admired the Tidy Town awards, and walked to and around...
The few bites we took of light breakfast with our coffee/tea this morning was not meant to hold us long. On our way south into Ennistimon we consulted Yelp! for an eatery offering Black Pudding. Black and White Puddings as well as Irish Bacon are components of a...
After our departure from The Cliffs of Moher we stopped at a pub in Doolin that promised good food, drink, and music but the place was already filled to capacity. So we wandered in the rain to a nearby pizza place and ordered a meal to go which we took back to Tigh...
This afternoon at 1:15PM MDT Megan and Arden are saying their wedding vows in a simple civil ceremony in Santa Fe NM. Although every one of us would dearly love to be at that event, we're at the Cliffs of Mother looking west across the Atlantic at 8:15 Irish Standard...
Last night Patti made a request of The Universe. She asked for a complete rainbow. This evening shortly after we walked up to the Cliffs of Moher, we experienced a light rain shower and when we looked east, believe it or not, we saw a complete rainbow! In this...
Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours! Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.

The island of Mallorca has a long and storied history including the Romans and the Moors. In recent years it has transitioned from an agricultural economy to tourism. The highlights of our tour of the capital city of Palma included Castell de Bellver and Catedral de Mallorca.
A port day in Barcelona gave us just enough time to get a brief introduction to the rich history and culture of the capital of Catalan.
It was an incredible experience to actually walk the streets of Pompeii, once a bustling resort town in the Roman Empire until 79 AD when an apocalyptic explosion buried it under 20 feet of volcanic ash. Archeological excavations since the 19th Century continue to reveal evidence of a thriving community.
