Well, I made it back in once piece! The vacation was AMAZING and exactly what I was hoping for. Ireland is a beautiful, peaceful country and the people couldn't be any friendlier. I've been looking over  the nearly one thousand photo's I took, and remembering all the little details, and wishing I was still there.

I'm so proud of myself for taking this adventure, being brave, and following through on my dreams of travel. I learned a lot about myself, and tapped into skills I wasn't sure I really had. It's funny how one week in a foreign place all alone can change so many things, so subtly. But they have, and I am happy.
