So 20sb is back with the blog carnival! yay! i've missed doing these. and i love this topic, a post from your first two months blogging.
i went with the entry from the day before i left to move to ireland, so it is from september 8th, and the second post from this blog.
TOMORROW - 8 September 2007
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! i leave tomorrow!!!!
so i am almost done packing, i need to make my bags lighter, so i need to go through it all again. but the coolest thing happened when i was packing. i bought a ring in kinsale, one of my first weekends in ireland and i wore it all semester and i lost it right at the end of my semester and i was really upset. so i brought out the bag i used for my laptop when i was in ireland and packing some stuff in it for my carry-on when i found my ring! i was sooo excited!
its just starting to hit me that i'll be in ireland soon, i'll be going to tesco, the english market, walking down patrick's street, going to the pubs, walking around campus, seeing signs in irish.
i have been waiting for this day since december 20th, 2005 when i left cork and now its finally here.
and i'm not going for a visit, i'm going back to live again.
i think i need to pinch myself to make sure this is real.
seriously.
my flight leaves sunday night at 7.25 and monday morning at 6.55 i should be in shannon and in cork around lunch time!
YAY!

Did you read this NYT article? http://travel.nytimes.com/2009/06/28/travel/28Hour.html
You will LOVE it.
Aww that's so fun! Love the post! That's funny—Dec 20, 2005 is the day I left Ireland, too.
It's fun to read how excited you were. I'm sure I'd be the same way. Looks like I might be going back to Ireland for the first time next fall—5 years after I left. I already can't wait to go back and see everything. Tesco! Totally forgot about that...
