Lover: Ireland
Colleen and I are planning a trip for Ireland in either December, March, or the late June/July. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for December, though. But here is our plan:
Day 1:
Fly into Dublin in morning, stay night
Day 2:
Bus to Belfast, stay night
Day 3: Bus to Derry, spend night
Day 4: Bus to Sligo, spent night
Day 5: Bus to Cork, spend night
Day 6: Bus to Shannon, spend night and/or fly out that day
It's a short trip...but Ireland is a constant ache that doesn't go away. Eire is like some lost lover that I dream about. I dream to hold her hand and let her whisper inside jokes with a pint in hand. I want her to nuzzle me with her cold wind and rains. I want to bundle myself up in the sound of her waves against the craigs. I am and will be homesick forever, I think. Even if I moved to Ireland, I'd be yearning for Virginia.
