Next Thursday we head to Dingle for our Irish Christmas Déjà Vu. Much will be the same as last year, but some things will be different on this trip:
- WordPress, the software with which I maintain the blog, has had a major upgrade. It’s better but there are some differences. Galleries are created differently, but they should look pretty much the same to readers. I just have to be careful to construct the galleries properly. Bear with me if I screw up.
- I have semi-retired my super excellent Canon G16 camera. In its place I am now using a Canon G7X Mark II. It has a larger sensor and theoretically, therefore, the pictures should be even better. But there will be a learning curve. Again, bear with me and hope for the best.
- I have to (by US law) use my US passport to enter and leave the USA. But I can use my Irish (EU) passport in Ireland. No big deal, but kind of cool.
- To avoid getting snowed in for five days in Boston like last Christmas, we’ll avoid the east coast altogether. We’ll fly British Air non-stop Phoenix to London Heathrow and connect with a quick flight to Dublin. We’ll overnight at the airport in Dublin and drive to dingle (4.5 hours) the next morning. Same itinerary coming back, again with a night at Dublin Airport.
We leave on December 20th. The blog will probably commence on December 22nd once we have settled in to our digs in Dingle. See you then.
Excellent!!
Safe flight and very enjoyable journey.

Sounds very exciting. Can’t wait for the Irish countryside pictures. Have a rocking good time. I think you should hand out your baseball card to the bar patrons. Cheers!! And happy 2019.
Too cheap to pay for on-board internet during our upcoming cruise, so will have to binge read the blog upon our return to San Juan. Looking forward to following your adventures during your first Christmas as an Irish citizen. NOLLAIG SHONA to you and Elaine ! 😘🎄🎄🎄
