So, anyway, I was watching and there's this girl called Janet Devlin who's from Gortin, Northern Ireland. Apparently it's a pretty small town (Wikipedia says 360ish people). I don't really know why I felt compelled to tell you that, but I did.Lindsayhttp://www.beestingsandhoney.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875999221456761044.post-80322737532875256922011-10-09T17:19:51.675-05:002011-10-09T17:19:51.675-05:00I love Ireland, it's so awesome!

Only I'm going at the end of March. Google maps can only take you so far, you know? <br /><br />Have a great time. Forget the guilt. The inspiration gained will far outweigh that credit card bill (hoping, hoping, hoping). :)Luanne G.

We'll be spending 5 days in Ireland, though not the north (Shannon to Dublin via a southern route). I'm excited! I also think we might die - we're going to be driving in Ireland. lol<br /><br />I can't wait to see what kind of awesome inspiration you gain from your time in Ireland and how that's reflected in your writing.

Not as far, but with the incredible folks (Atlanta MLs and Wrimos) waiting for me there, Just As Awesome!<br /><br />I'm so happy for you, TL! I don't doubt this'll be a blast. I did something very similar with Newfoundland two years ago, and it helped me so much. Go forth and be wild! <br /><br />(As for a Wrimo Meet, it's not as unlikely as you think.

There is so much more out there than the simple closed life we live here in the US. I can't wait for your adventure to begin. But you are right - IN NOVEMBER??!?! you are nuts.<br /><br />I hope you never come back, not because I don't want you back here, but because I want you to adventure and find your happy place.<br /><br />Best of Luck. <br /><br />...oh and see you tonight.Erojoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15581142094977582496noreply@blogger.com
