i'm returning once again to the land of some of me ancestors, and will spend about ten days in Ireland. pretty place. been there once before. I felt much more comfortable in Scotland though. I heard a wierd thing the other day. if you decend from a Highland clan, no matter where you're born or raised, if you're a highlander, you'll feel instantly at home in Scotland.

but, Scotland's off the plan for this trip. Pity, really. But there's always future trips. I liked England too, particularly Yorkshire, but Scotland is orders of magnitude cooler.
