Remember when I said I couldn’t update my blog for a while? Sometimes it wasn’t just the internet. I had arrived in Cork and was unpacking when I realized my netbook wasn’t with me. Oh shit, I must’ve left it in Galway! I didn’t panic immediately, I realized I made some friends in Galway and…

Galway, Ireland
Galway May 21st and 22nd 2010 I went to the Bus Eiranne station and looked at the departure boards. Where did I want to go? The man working at the Belfast train station told me I should visit Newcastle if I liked mountains. I was set on going until the very last minute when my…
Belfast, Northern Ireland
Belfast May 20th 2010 I got to Belfast (North Ireland) some time in the afternoon. My initial impression was that Belfast looked industrial and pretty boring. The colors were dull, buildings were old. I checked into my hostel (Belfast Youth International Hostel) and even the hostel had a boring feel. No one was hanging out…
Hello from Cork, Ireland
I will need to write a proper entry for Belfast and Galway but I can’t at the moment. Got pictures and stuff. Hope everyone back there is doing great, I do miss everyone and I read everyone’s comments since it’s sent via email to me. Be back later.
Hello from Galway, Ireland
Just updating that I’m in Galway now. I left Belfast hostel early, walked to the bus station, thought about going to Newcastle to see the mountains, decided on a whim to visit Galway instead. More to come later, but safe, having fun with some new ppl I met here. Best time so far.

Dublin, Ireland
Dublin is a lot colder than I thought it would be. It was cloudy and in the 60’s when I got here. After I landed and got my bag, the first challenge was getting to my hostel without getting ripped off (aka taxis). I managed to find out the bus that would take me to…
Pre-trip Gear Check
I laid out all my gear on my bed so you all can check out what I’ll be bringing. I will be fitting all of that into my backpack so organization and packing skills will be key. Anything I find I don’t need, I will discard on the road. I can resupply or buy anything…
Final Goodbyes in Dallas
I suck at goodbyes. I’ve been told that when you’re on the road, you say so many goodbyes so often you get good at it. I guess I will be trained in the art of goodbyes in some time. Played my last pick up soccer game at Brookhaven on Thursday. I had been wanting to…
Vaccinations
I’ve already gotten vaccinations a few weeks ago. Hep A, tetanus/polio boosters, yellow fever, and typhoid to complement what I already have been vaccinated for in the past. Will purchase malaria pills in regions that have it, or some ppl have suggested, stay covered up during peak biting hours, take precautions, and if needed, deal…
