I have to admit that with the current instability of the flying world, planes falling, accidents, fires, and near misses, I am not anxious to hop a plane for anywhere. BUT, if I won two free tickets to anywhere I choose, Ireland would be my destination!

The Emerald Isle, with its green countryside, quaint cottages, castles, and its rock walls is my dream destination. The extra ticket would belong to my kid sister Julie. The climate of this country is in a place that a one-way ticket would be good. I can envision myself living in a cottage there, walking to the pub and village to shop, exploring the country from one end to the other and living among the Irish to the end of me days… maybe finding the little people that Darby O’Gill ran with…. the fairies and such. Yes, Ireland it is!
