Spending 10 days in Cancun was never more overrated.
I just backpacked around the Emerald Isle for this past spring vacation, from February 29-March 9. As I sit here at my desk with my loose receipts around me, dirty laundry, passport and plane tickets, trying to clean up and do some homework, I can't stop thinking about how just three days ago I had a baguette for lunch on a cliff on the Aran Islands.
It was just incredible to be looking out at the Atlantic Ocean, feeling so small, breathing the salty air in as I inhaled a ham-and-cheese sandwich.
Besides the Aran Islands, I visited Dublin, Cork, kissed the Blarney Stone, went to Kilarney, took a bus tour of the Ring of Kerry, spent a night in Galway, headed back to Dublin, and then came on home! It was a breathtaking, exhausting, rejuvenating, adventurous trip.
I might not have laid on a beach, but I laid in front of a castle.
I'd say I was definitely blessed by the luck o' the Irish this spring break.
