Wife just surprised me with trip to Ireland!

This evening when I got home my wife had special dinner set for me.  When desert came out she had a round serving plater with an envelope with trip details and tickets to Ireland!  I've been wanting to go there and photograph all the castles.  

Anyone from Ireland?

Nobody is from Ireland. Everyone is Irish. My mother's parents were immigrants (legal).
NICE surprise. My wife and I are going to the UK in the next couple of years, we'll seriously plan as soon as she DROPS the loony idea of going as part of a tour.....:angry:

Why so serious?

What you don't like the whole lemming aspect of seeing a place? Also I am Irish on my mothers side of the equation. Had a great uncle who would slip into Gaelic when he had a few too many. I am a typical statesman though being Heinze 57 on the fathers. 
Congrats on the trip Nikon. I wish I could go and see what is left of my family there. It is going to be cold, and damp so plan accordingly.

HA!  I think we all were thinking the same thing.  That's what you call a gift!  

OP - Ireland is a beautiful country and the people there are incredibly nice and very proud of their country.  I suggest when you get there to get off the touristy trails and explore the country side.
