I have decided it might be a good idea to post one last blog. I have heard some concern expressed from our dedicated blog readers. They are worried that we 1.Died in Ireland 2. Decided to never return to "the real world." Well this blog will be a quick wrap up of the end of our trip and what we have been up to lately.
