HOW WE GOT HERE
Patrick was born and raised in Jacksonville and has previously traveled to various parts of the world including Australia, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Ireland was somewhere he had always wanted to visit, so when his mom called and told him she bought a trip for the two of them to go, he jump at the chance and started making arrangements almost immediately.
Shortly after, his mom realized she had prior commitments and could not make the trip. His brother, cousin, and nephew were all contenders for her spot, but for one reason or another all were unable to make the voyage overseas. Fortunately, I, who has never been west of Louisiana, came to terms with being sloppy fifths, packed my rain jacket (along with 7 unnecessary pairs of shoes) and made arrangements at work for this two week sojourn.
Outcome: WE DIDN'T KILL EACH OTHER!!
We both agreed that it was one of the best opportunities that we had ever experienced. The weather was great, our tour group was THE best we could have asked for (Shout out to Patty, Jean, and David! Hi, we miss you!!! ) and we traveled around like celebrities in our bus, aptly named, The Golden Bullet. (See the Greatness Below)
