The day before...

The day before I leave... I'm all packed and am practicing writing my blog on my PlayBook. Just one more sleep and a day of work and then I'm off to London. Too bad I didn't have time to figure out how to import pics to my PlayBook and then to the blog :(

Pre-Travel

Welcome to my blog.  I wanted to make this blog so people can follow my adventures and maybe find my information useful while I travel around the UK and Ireland.

Background: I've always wanted to go to Ireland.  You could say it's on my bucket list.  So what better time to do it then right now while I'm still young and carefree.  I started looking into going to Ireland first and then decided while I'm there I might as well go to England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland too.  I first started my research last year, in November, using Rick Steves' travel books.  I gathered everything that appealed to me in UK first and then Ireland.  After compiling my list, I discovered that it would take me 50 days to do everything.  Due to work and lack of funds, I had to narrow my list down to a doable 32 days.

My adventure begins on my birthday, March 30, in the evening when I get on a plane and arrive in London early afternoon, March 31.
