October madness!!!!!

We have been very busy so far this month especially during the weekends.

The first weekend was the royal Belgian’s (& 1 Italian!!!) visit.We showed them a sample of the beautiful spots in Ireland.The weather was on our side for the most part. It was a marathon of a weekend as we packed so much into it. Everybody enjoyed the weekend which was the main thing. I must say one of the highlights for me was the pint of Guinness we had in the Guinness Brewery on the last day (I know, I am betraying the murph’s!). It was a great finish to what was a fab weekend. Thanks to them all for coming over and mum has said the door of our home (B&B) is always open!!!!

With little time to recover, it was straight into the weekend of Michaela’s combined birthday (did I mention she turned 29!!!) & going away party!!! The craic was only mighty and I am still not sure how so many family and friends fitted into the house. A good sign of a party is the state of the place the next morning and let’s just say we had to do shifts to get the house back into order!! Thanks to everybody for giving Mic & me a great send off and looking forward to the home coming party, it will have to better it, a tall order!!! …at least you have 10 months to prepare ;o)

The next weekend started a bit early. We had a family dinner at the cliff house hotel in Ardmore. The setting of the hotel was lovely and the food matched it. Then we headed out to catch up with all my friends on the Friday night in the Long Valley. Good nights craic was had and it was great to catch up with all the gang that weren’t able to make the Trio's birthday party, which has to be said was also a classic.

Cheers to everybody for the best wishes, presents and the lucky stones!!!! Hopefully the blog will keep you all up to date and let me know all of your gossip!!!

Kick off is just around the corner now and our first stop is Ecuador. We fly into Quito, spend the first few days chilling out before we head off on a tour which includes an overland section picking up the highlights followed by a 10 day tour of the Galapagos Islands which we are both really looking forward to (especially the turtles & the blue bobbies!!!)
