B.B. B&B open for business

Filed under: dublin,ireland,travel — Anita @ 13:16

The Bakker Bugle Bed and Breakfast is officially open for business! We checked in our first guest today: Cindy Smith, my wonderful mother. She braved her first international flight with no issues or concerns. She flew out of O’Hare on Aer Lingus (motto: you’ve never seen green quite like our uniforms) and landed here in Dublin at 5:40 this morning, with two large suitcases full of love (and products) from the States.

Cindy is going to be here with us for two weeks, until 22 August. You can look forward to more stories about the American tourist in Dublin and the adventures the three of us have.

First Trip to Galway (of 2007)

Filed under: ireland,travel — Will @ 21:29

We visited Galway last year, because our friends Chris and Katie are working for the Big A there. We took a long weekend (half-day Friday) to visit this year. It was the perfect opportunity to talk with good friends and fellow Americans-in-Ireland.

And it was the perfect time to see them. By the time we got on the train to come home, Anita and I realized that a few days away from Dublin was the medicine we needed. We got some of the annoyances with Irish customs off our chests and we told better stories about what we were discovering in Dublin. So we returned to Dublin refreshed.

Naturally, there are photos of Galway on Flickr.

We’re going back next month, to see the sights with Anita’s mom. I’m looking forward to it very much. Connemara was my favorite part of our trip to Ireland last year. And, we’ll get to take another shot at the Cliffs of Moher.
