Been a while since we posted. And the sole and only reason is that we've been running the Cambers ragged since their arrival and I haven't had time to post. After picking them up at the Dublin Airport, Candee thought we'd take a leisurely jaunt up to our hotel in Navan, check in early, and let them catch up on rest from their transatlantic journey. Instead, we headed north to Malahide Castle, south to Glendalough, and back north to Navan to check in much later than we thought. Friday, we went to Newgrange, then drove all the way across the country to our home base in Westport. Saturday, I promised a leisurely four hour drive out to Achill Island and it turned into a seven hour journey when Paul and I stopped occasionally :) the ladies would say "every fifty feet" to take pictures of the stunning landscape. Saturday night we met up with Padraic and Marion for a few at the bar in the Clew Bay Hotel. Paul has a great new camera which has a panorama function. If I can transfer them from his computer to mine, I'll post some - just breathtaking.
