Home sweet Home..... Our plane touched down about 5.40am and we got through Customs relatively quickly and headed to the taxi rank to get home. We were both tired as not much sleep was had on the flight - although the flight was better than we both expected. It was great to be home - we have travelled on trains, planes and automobiles - been to 9 different airports over the past 4 weeks, and travelled thousands of kilometres. We have been very fortunate, we h...

Had the flight from hell from Manchester to Dubai..... Basically we left Manchester at 9pm local time for our 7 and a half hour flight to Dubai. I tried getting some sleep, however, there was this child about 5 years old who threw the biggest tantrum ever!!!! This meant that any chance of getting some sleep was never going to happen as you guessed it, the child was sitting in the aisle directly across from us - so here we are in Dubai at 8am local time, with a 3...

Listowel - September 14TH Killarney shops awaited us before leaving town, so after another filling breakfast we hit the shops before driving to Tralee. Our timing could not have been better as upon arriving in Tralee and finding our hotel - The Imperial - we found out that the hotel that we were staying in had a bus leaving for the Listowel races in 15 minutes! After a very quick check in to the hotel - which also meant we had to move the car and try and fi...
