Jaye Marie and Anita Dawes

Guess what! You’ll never guess. I’ll just tell you.

I’m going to Ireland! Yes, in just a week, I’ll be taking a hop, skip and jump over the Atlantic Ocean to the green isle of Ireland where I’ll be with my family for two whole weeks! I cannot believe it.

Why can’t I believe it?

Some of you are thinking that’s no big deal, right? I have never before had a passport. I have never before left the continent of North America (except a brief visit to Nassau, Bahamas. But I’m not sure that counts?) I have never been to California. That one always surprises people.

So why am I telling you about this trip?

Well, I’m excited for one. And for another, I’d love to hear if you’ve been to Ireland or about a time you’ve traveled outside your home area or to another country. What experiences did you…
