[Sca-cooks] OT: Trip to Ireland

[Olwen the Odd]

Very cool!  We shall certainly miss you at Pennsic, but hey, I'd take that
trade too.  I don't know anything about Ireland so can't give you any advice
except to have fun, keep your Lord away from the sheep (but get a piture of
one) and don't fall off the cliff.

>10 - 21.  We are flying into Shannon and departing from Dublin.
>We have booked a "self-drive tour" with a rental car and vouchers
>for B&Bs.  Our vague plan is to drive a semi-circular route along the
>southern coast from Shannon to Dublin.  At this point, our only
>must-sees along the way are the Ring of Kerry, the Craggaunowen

>I'm still a little wistful about missing Pennsic this year, but this is a
