Finishing up packing today. Not really sure if I got everything. Hopefully the speedo, trench coat, fedora, and fake mustache I'm bringing will be enough. A shout out to Samsonite- I want to thank you for making suitcases that weigh 49.9 lbs when the int'l limit is 50. I'm thrilled to be bringing my feather collection and an advil for the grief I'll get from the stewardess about having a big carryon.
My awareness of the trip is fleeting; it comes and goes as my attention diverts from one thing to another. Could be a result of my subconscious coping with my total underprepared-ness. But back in the wonderful world of reality, I'm pretty stoked to get on the plane. Actually. I like transatlantic flights. Astronaut food, romcoms, and air-powered toilets are the pinnacle of a high flying lifestyle. Excuse my redundancy but it was used as a pun. Anyhow, I think the trip could rival the fun on the plane.
Well I suppose I should return to running around like a chicken with its head cut off. It's been fun. It's been real. I mean, if this were a dream I wouldn't be typing this.
So next time I update this, I'll be doing jigs with leprechauns and drinking Guinness. Sounds like a plan for my last day in the US. But I probably won't update this until I reach the old country. When I get to Dublin it'll be time for some serious touring. And hunting for European babes.
Considering this is my third paragraph attempt at signing off, I should get on with it. Until next time.

Bon voyage, Josh! Our prayers go with you for a smooth, uneventful flight & for you to find a bike as soon as you hit the Old Sod. We're going to enjoy living vicariously through your blog, so keep it coming, Laddie-Boy. Much love from your Godparents, Nook & Tom
ReplyDeleteToorahloorahloorah! Faith n'begora! Me son is goin' to the Emerald Isle! I'm so excited for you, Joshie! You earned this opportunity and I don't know anyone else who would utilize the opportunity better than you. I'm sure your fantastic writing skills will become even more honed as you receive an impartation from James Joyce, W.B. Yeats and all the other famous Irish authors. Have a blast! May the Lord's face shine upon you and may the road rise up to meet you! Love and blessings, Mom
ReplyDeleteAm I seeing the Cliffs of Moher behind your blog? Good choice, Laddie. (Don't burst me bubble by telling me it's Connemara or some other gorgeous Emerald site:) Josh, I'm so excited for you and know this adventure will catapult your talents, dreams, and heart's desires to a whole 'nother level. I'll be following your blog as you trod the ground (or bike it) holding so much of your family heritage on both sides. Love and prayers, sha
