1. Have you been to Ireland?

We spent 2 weeks there a couple of summers ago. What a wonderful country! It's beautiful, historic and the people were among the friendliest I've ever met.

The food was awesome! We had delicious meals everywhere we went in the country.

We had been planning a trip to Scotland. But one evening when we were watching a TV show about Euorpean castles, the owner of Birr Castle, Lady Rosse, mentioned that they had a cabin on the castle grounds that they rent to guests. My wife and I looked at each other with wide eyes. I reached for my laptop, pulled up their website and within minutes we were booked for what turned out to be one of our most wonderful traveling experiences. The cabin was a 300-year old house that was beautiful and comfortable. It was also much less expensive than most hotels we've stayed at.

Hope you get to go to Ireland! You'll love it.
