I said i wasn't going to do this....

Well, here goes nothing... I said I wasn't going to do a blog for my trip to Ireland, but I gave in. I figure it is easier to keep everyone updated this way.
Anyway, for all who don't know, I will be spending Fall 2009 in Ireland studying abroad in and around Galway County on the west coast of Ireland. More specifically I will be at the Park Lodge Hotel just outside of the village of Spiddal.
This is going to be an excellent experience and I am beyond excited for it! I fly out of MSP on September 1st with 2 good friends, Jimmy Backes and Thomas Joyce, and we are scheduled to land in London on September 2nd! From there we will travel to Munich, Vienna, and Prague, then from Prague we head to Dublin and across to Galway! We are supposed to report to Park Lodge on September 10th to meet with the other members of our group. I am very excited and very nervous for this adventure to begin, but for now I am just biding my time!
For everyone here in Minneosta and elsewhere, have an excellent fall and good luck with school and work and what not! Check in when you can, I'll keep you posted!
