Hi McBloggers

Well, it's getting close to Ireland Trip/McCabes & Cosgroves 2008 for the McBlogs, McCabes, Cosgroves, and anyone else that is able to join in. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone coming from the U.S. as well as meeting and seeing our family in Ireland and/or England. I know we all have different itineraries but I hope we get to cross paths at least once during the trip. If not, we'll catch you next time around! So, everyone, have a great time!

Thanks to all for sharing your info and to you, Kate, for getting this blog out there.

Getting closer to post time

Hey everyone,
my plans have changed but here they are. I'm leaving from Newark on 7/26 and arriving in Dublin on 7/27 and taking a bus tour around Dublin that day/evening. Staying in Dublin that night and starting a land tour of western Ireland (Ring of Kerry, Cliffs of Moher) on 7/27 similar to Ginny and John's. I end in Shannon airport on 8/1 and meet Kate and Chris. We have reservations at the Longford Arms on Friday and Saturday and I think Sunday. Then heading to Donegal for a day or two and driving back to Dublin by Tuesday or Wednesday. Probably staying in Dublin till I leave on Friday morning, 08/08/08. Kate and Chris are staying till Sunday. I'm looking at car rentals now so if anyone has any good info or tips regarding what to get or not get, email me if you see this in the next few days. Is anyone going to be using their cellphone in Ireland? If you are, would you let us know your phone number? I ordered a SIMS Passport card but haven't gotten it yet. When I do I'll post the number. See you in a couple of weeks.
