First, here's what you need to know. The difference between baloney and blarney (and I steal this, by the way): Baloney - telling a 50-year-old woman she looks 18. Blarney- asking a woman how old she is because you want to know "at what age women are most beautiful". That's right we visited blarney castle today! And yes, we kissed the Blarney Stone!! But before we got there, we stopped into the town of Kinsale, which is kind of where we stayed last night. Adorabl...

Day three in Ireland has been incredibly relaxed. Which is probably good after hen and stag night in the Vegas of Ireland! We had breakfast at 9 am back in Kilkenny. Got to talk with our hosts a little more, and unfortunately, with a borderline ugly american tourist from LA. She just couldn't believe there were Midwesterners traveling. Um, bite me, lady.

All around, quite entertaining. But his grill is quite frightening up close! Then, off to rent a car (seeing some of the most gig...

Or day started with a quick couple of errands on the way out of town, and then driving to Chicago. Erica, the fabulous woman that she is, set us up to park in her company's garage and even got us hooked up with a free shuttle to O'hare! We were greeted with the smell of Auntie Anne's immediately upon cleaning security, so with that in our bellies, we headed on the plane bound for Atlanta. After a shorter than expected delay, we took off and got to Atlanta without...
