hi victoria,
we're going to Galway, Mayo & Knock. its a touring holday for 5 days and we are going with 2 other couples. i can't tell you how thrilled my husband was to get in touch with his irish roots, his grandma & grandad came to england in the early 1900's and although they were dead before he was born he has always had this yearning to go to ireland so i really hope it will live up to his expectations!!
i think this is also why he loves turkey, we have made some lovely turkish friends over the years and i think some of their values ie looking after older relatives and how the poor people struggle yet still remain cheerful & freindly remind him of his natural homeland even though he's never been. god, i'm sorry for waffling on i bet i've bored you to death
