Hi to all the family. Thanks for getting this out there, Kate. My plans are coming together but no ticket yet. I'm thinking of starting in England around July 27 or 28 and seeing a few relatives there, going for a few days to Scotland, and then to Ireland by Saturday, Aug. 2nd to be there for the mass on Sunday. I think after a couple of days in and around Longford, we're going up to Donegal as a group. I'm planning on taking two weeks and when I look for tickets, that will help me decide from when to when.

Hey all - Katy, this is great, thanks for setting it up. Tom and I bought our tickets and we'll be in Ireland from July 29-August 11. We're planning on hanging out on the West Coast (Co. Clare, Aran Islands) for a few days with Dan and Gretchen before heading to Longford on August 2. We haven't made plans for the second week and are definitely open to suggestions. We're hoping to head up to Donegal if that's in the works and would love to coordinate with anyone that'll be around.
Talk soon,
Kathleen

Welcome to McBlog!

hello family,
can't wait to see you all in ireland this summer! a few folks have expressed some desire to see what everyone's travel plans are, so here is a central repository for that info. i'll get things rolling - i'm planning on arriving probably in edinburgh sometime around july 24-26, rambling around scotland for a week or so, then landing at the cosgrove ranch in longford around august 1-2. of course, nothing is set in stone.

what about all-a-yous?
