I was last in Ireland in 2023, on a trip with my sisters. They insisted I pose with the sheep. As cute as the sheep were, I didn’t bring one home. Sigh…I never did finish posting about that trip, maybe someday I’ll catch up!

I leave tomorrow (Friday) for visit number three to the Emerald Isle. This trip is a retirement gift to myself. I’m joining a tour hosted by House of Hamill, an Irish band based out of Pennsylvania. I have followed them since 2019 (I just looked up the date) when my husband and I saw them perform at the Irish 2000 Music Festival in Ballston Spa, NY. Sadly, the festival ended that year, but I don’t think it was the fault of HoH 🙂 Happily, we’ve been able to see HoH several more times in person at Caffe Lena in Saratoga Springs and other venues around the Capital Region.

I’m looking forward to exploring a different part of Ireland, listening to some great Irish music, and getting to meet travelers from all over.

Stay tuned!
