Jen is comming!

Seth and Jen decided that Jen shouldn't have to stay home while Seth has the adventure so Seth got on the web and booked her to fly along with use. Now we have 6!

Tickets are purchased(Am I looney at 60?)

Tonight Seth and I purchased the airfare tickets for our trip in may to Ireland, England, France, Spain and Portugual. We will meet in the airport at Newark and fly to Shannon, Ireland on May 2, 2009. After touring the above mentioned countries, we will fly home from Madrid Spain on May 17, 2009. Three days in Ireland, three in England, one in France, and the remainder in Spain with a short drive thru in Portugual. No travel agents allowed. We will rent a car in Ireland. Ferry and train to London. Express train under the English Channel to Paris. We haven't decided whether to drive Paris thru Andorra to spain, Overnight train in a sleeper car from Paris to Madrid, or commuter flight from Paris to Madrid. We dream of maybe finding some ancestors in Ireland to do temple work for in London. We will do the London and Madrid temples a session or two. Visits to Limerick, Tipperary, Clooney in Ireland seeing the places we have ancestors from. London will probably include Westminister Abbey, maybe a walking tour and for the scouter in me, a trip to the real Gilwell field! Paris will see the Eiffel Tower and what ever else we can fit it. Spain will include those places Ben wanted to see while in was a missionary but couldn''t. suggestions are always welcome, but probably ignored.

In the next 3 months we will add more insights to where we are going. then this will become a travel blog while we are on the big adventure. I will have a folder on picasa for us to put pictures at http://picasaweb.google.com/jfhanks/IrelandSpainTrip#
