Well … since I leave for Ireland on Tuesday with my daughters … these seem appropriate.

Please … give a good listen to the second one … it's a song taken from actual letters written by a father to his son who had emigrated to America.

I saw that number performed at the Happy Days [insert joke here, Alan] visitor center in Peninsula about 10 yrs. ago. Regarding your trip, a well traveled friend recommended the west coast over Dublin[very $] but I am sure your itinerary is fait de compli.

My two cents on your trip, Pat, is to not miss the Rock of Cashel, located in the approximate center of Ireland. Built to awe, and to last. Also, there might still be a restaurant in Cashel Town, called Chez Hans. Swiss chef, preparing Irish produce to perfection. Last of all, the belief that the Guinness tastes better closer to the source is absolutely true. Cheers!

I wonder if they grow Idaho potatoes in Ireland.
