My Irish travel site
Is it strange to post a link to my Shutterfly site here on the blogspot? I have spent a lot of time compiling this Irish travel site. I go every year, and have done since the mid 90s. People ask me all the time for tips and advice, so I decided to write it down.
It's everything you want to know about planning an Irish holiday. Everything *I* know, anyway!
Planning an Irish Holiday
There are tips and photos and things to do...genealogy info and Irish related books and movies and music to read, watch, and listen to.
I hope you enjoy browsing, and if you have anything to add, feel free!

Photo Books...
I've been too lazy to actually write my travel journals lately, though I have made a few photo journals. I will post some of them here. Enjoy!

 My favorite Christmas song is Fairy Tale of New York. It doesn't translate so well in print, but you can hear it here and see the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCr30.... Enjoy The Rebel Jesus, printed below, and listen here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxDwy... The Rebel Jesus, lyrics by Jackson Browne Music with The Chieftains All the streets are filled with laughter and light And the music of the season And the merchants' windows are all bright With the faces of the children And the families hurrying to their homes While the sky darkens and freezes Will be gathering around the hearths and tables Giving thanks for God's graces And the birth of the rebel Jesus Well they call him by 'the Prince of Peace' And they call him by 'the Savior' And they pray to him upon the seas And in every bold endeavor As they fill his churches with their pride and gold And their faith in him increases But they've turned the nature that I worship in From a temple to a robber's den In the words of the rebel Jesus Well we guard our world with locks and guns And we guard our fine possessions And once a year when Christmas comes We give to our relations And perhaps we give a little to the poor If the generosity should seize us But if any one of us should interfere In the business of why they are poor He'll get the same as the rebel Jesus Now please forgive me if I seem To take the tone of judgment For I've no wish to come between This day and your enjoyment In this life of hardship and of earthly toil We have need for anything that frees us So I bid you pleasure And I bid you cheer From a heathen and a pagan On the side of the rebel Jesus | |||
