ZOMG Hai!

Who missed me? *counts hands* Hm, well even so, I’m home and glad to be back. We had a fantastic time in Ireland, but decided to cut the trip a week short due to the looming possibility of a union strike for the Airline we were booked with and more importantly word of my grandfather being admitted to the hospital. He’s doing OK, thankfully, but we didn’t want to get stranded without a way back if things didn’t south. Besides wanting to be with my grandfather, we couldn’t be stuck in Ireland with my Dad’s obligations and contracts.

At any rate, things are good! We visited a lot of cool places and had a wonderful, relaxing vacation. It was great having a couple of Mom’s friends come along this trip- it really mixed things up from our usual trips over there. We toured a lot of spots on the coast, but spent most of our time in Lahinch, a beautiful coastal town in the northwest of the country. It’s a big surfing spot, apparently, so it was quite busy during the weekend. However, it was quiet during the week and we pretty much had the town to ourselves for most of our stay, which was kind of nice.

I’ve posted quite a few photos on my Flickr account, and have put together a little compilation video of our travels:

FYI: On Vacation

Just a heads up: I’ll be on vacation in Ireland until the 24th of October. I’ll have Internet, certainly, but it will be somewhat intermittent. If things go as they usually do during my visits, I’ll just be logging on at net cafes along the way to check my email, Skype voice mail, etc. If I don’t get back to you immediately, that’s the cause.

I’ll be sure to post plenty of photos and videos as time permits. Have a great October, everyone.
