Did you take your whistle and play for/with them?

Did you take your whistle and play for/with them?
Yes! He was so awesome! When Tin played Crested Hens (which is a slow one) the whole pub shushed each other so they could hear him. TWICE! It was so awesome! There was a guy that told me "your fellow plays bloody brilliant". I couldn't help but beam. The same guy went to shake his hand when it was over and he treated Tin like a celeb. He was all shy but want to meet him so bad. :) I'm so proud of my "Fella" :D

You all will love the pics. We had an awesome time!

Welcome back! I just got back from China last night myself! Seems like a lot of forumites are out travelling this summer.

I'd love to go to Ireland some day, its such a beautiful country and I constantly hear about how incredibly nice everyone is there, and I'd love to find out some more about the Kane (I think it was O' Kane before coming to Canada) side of my family.

Good gods, look at that ocean. What a beautiful place. And those walls are cool! (Never thought I'd say that.)

You guys look cute too :p.

Good lord! That is one expensive hot dog.
And it sounds like Delta is an airline I should stay away from. Every time I've flown its been with Air Canada (Or Jazz, a partner company of Air Canada), and its always been a pleasant experience.
And I hadn't ever actually considered how weird it would be to drive on the left, with the steering wheel on the right side of the car.

Man, I'm so jealous of your accomodations! It looks awesome!

Do you mind if I ask if this was a terribly expensive trip? China has satiated my taste for travel.

Also: New York stuff gets ridiculously priced, airport stuff gets overpriced, put them together... Still not sure how the nachos came to $15 though. That's a weird fucking bill.

That's ricidulous. In China, it was like 10- 30 RMB for a meal, depending on what you had to drink. That is like $0.60 to $1.50 CND. And it was GOOD food too.

I have always heard about how BLAND Irish foods are. Such a lie! The food was FANTASTIC. I'll prolly miss that quite a bit to tell you the truth.

I've never really heard that about Irish food. Actually, I don't know any Irish food. other than that there's lots of potatoes.
Is shephard's pie Irish? Cause Shephard's pie is delicious!
I HAVE heard that about English food though, and my mom is English and if her cooking is an indication, its true. Steaks= Well done. All the meat, no seasoning but salt and pepper. Bleh.
The Irish in my family is my dad's side, and he was raised on the East Coast, so rather than being raised on Irish foods, I've been raised on Canadian east coast food. Lots and lots of fish, basically.

Shepherd's pie is definitely Irish and sooo good. There were potatoes and sausage with everything just about . I don't think we had to season anything while out there. I think a touch of salt here and there. And I mean a touch. lol

Calli, that second to last pic should be your avatar picture, it's a really good one.

Glad that you guys had a great trip and a safe one (except for getting robbed in the NY terminal with that food bill). Looking forward to seeing more of the pictures and hearing more about it all.

Damn, seeing those pictures makes me all kinds of nostalgic. *sighs* I wanna go back to Ireland...

Trust me, it'll hit you both as well :) I don't know why, but Ireland just seems to have this magnetism about it...

It sounds like you guys had a great honeymoon, I can't wait to see more pictures. I definitely agree with you about flying over the country. I remember when we broke through the clouds when I was flying to Ireland some years back and realizing that I had to completely redefine my concept of green.

Beautiful pics and that pub story made me literally smile. Sounds like you had the time you deserved =)
Soooo want to go to Ireland one day...

I'm adding Ireland to my list of places I wish to go someday. Nice pics and stories!

Actually, considering that was airport food, and New York Airport food, I would say that's not too horrible. I've had 50$ 1person lunches at Airports in shit-holes like Tulsa before. Looks like you were getting charged the same I was for the most part.

You guys look so happy together. :) I'm so glad y'all had a good time in Ireland. Gorgeous pictures!
