Yes, I was thinking 2 stops would be best. I would drive as long as it isn't too much in the busy part of a city. Not sure that the parts of Ireland I loved best would be very accessible from a city though. I loved Dingle Peninsula.

By the time you read this, I hope you are feeling better and headache free.
Up a pound in a day is perfectly normal!!!! That's two glasses of water. If your body is fighting something, it's normal to hold on to water and have inflammation.
Love the shirts. You are like my hero Hubert Humphrey: Happy Warriors!

Greetings all
The sun is finally peeking out. Started the day with Scrabble and got destroyed all three games. The Shark got 3 bingo plays with a 50 pt bonus each. I had one but did not stand a chance. Still fun.
Well Liz you might be getting home about now. Overall it sounds like a great trip. Nice that you can do your post trip analysis while it is fresh and learn something. We did an organized tour of Ireland and Scotland and it was pretty manageable. Moved every three days but it was not bad. And yeah Westminster Abbey rocks. You look down and realize you are standing on Charles Dickens or someone. Hope you have some slow days soon.
199 Peps! Way to go. If you keep cleaning you will lose more fast I bet. Yes dogs are grubby. But life would be dull.
Paula hope you feel better soon. Drink lots of water. I swear it helps.
So DD there is still lots to do even if one does not have a job. No clue how I managed one. My visitor friend and I were discussing how we survived and how much our work has changed since we retired. Naps earned.
I must go over to the bank and straighten out a deposit error. It was likely my error but I want to track it down. Gallery meeting tonight. Our new treasurer has again decided she wants to do all the cash deposits because she can't match them up with the point of sale report we get. Guess what? With 26 different people running the cash register about half the time they don't match up. She will learn.....
We watched more of The Guilded Age last night. Most excellent.
DH brought home shrimp from costco. A few days dinners.

123.9, up almost a pound in one day!
You all are so much more ambitious than me, especially today. While Bella dog seems to be back to her usual self today, mama is not. I've had a pounding headache most of the day and already have taken two long naps after sleeping a full 9+ hours last night. Definitely have a summer bug of some sort brewing! Praying it isn't Covid again. Doesn't feel like it but always a concern!
Not much to report since I've just mostly been sleeping and lying around! Hopefully more exciting news tomorrow!

Ooooooo! You're getting the hang of this new life, aren't you!!!!! What a delightful day you've described.
Whew! It's 2pm and I'm tired. :) I got up at 8:30 am, got dressed to workout, had breakfast, read the daily paper, tidied a few things in the kitchen, went to work out, stopped at the grocery store on the way home, unloaded the groceries and put them away, watered all my flowers and dead headed the petunias, and now I just finished my shower. Time to get dressed in real clothes, and then I'm going to use some over ripe bananas to make banana bread, and I'm going to get a calico bean hotdish going. And THEN the NYT Sunday Paper.
DBIL in Texas wants to go to Galveston again in the fall. He very generously invites us as his guests, using his Southwest points to buy the airfare, and covers the hotel. He and DH discussed it last night, and DBIL already booked everything today. So we'll be going to Galveston October 19 -25 and staying in my favorite hotel, The Galvez. DBIL said his accountant told him he was well set up, and his estate was well set up for his son and grandchildren and he should start spending his money. He said this is one way he wants to spend it. I gratefully accept. :)
Well time to go down to the kitchen, and get to the real event of the day: reading on the porch.
199.7, Was awfully nice to see that one in the hundreds place again! 
I bought a new to me cleaning and disinfectant, germicide, deodorizer product that is the BOMB! It's called KennelSol. So, the deep clean of the bedroom continued yesterday afternoon. Today I will be washing the walls, doors, and baseboards in the hallway. Once I get that done I can start on the kitchen cupboards for their quarterly wash. I'm telling you, dogs are dirty beasts without even trying. But again, I wouldn't have it any other way.
Liz, I too am impressed by your trip reflections! I am considering going to Austria in 2027 for the World Dog Show (which moves to a new location around the world each year). I'm planning out how to include Salzburg and Munich and how I want to do it. I may be lucky enough to travel with an Austrian friend who lives in Arizona. I hope Ron will want to come with me. I never know with him - especially because it will be around Easter time.
Great workout yesterday along with grooming dogs and cleaning. Yesterday's clients were two Wire Fox Terriers. Mother and Son.
Must get ready now for Eagle the Airedale Terrier.... adios!
I'm impressed by your travel reflections. I think sometimes we get so busy doing that we don't take time to acknowledge, this isn't for me anymore. And then take that step further, and figure out what is it that suits us at this point?
If you went to Ireland, you might not need to move around constantly. There are several smaller cities you could use for a base and plan day trips in various directions from those locations. Example maybe you would stay primarily in Dublin and Cork. Or Cork and Galway. I really like Dublin, but I enjoyed our stays in the smaller cities even more. Are you or DD comfortable driving? Once you're out of Dublin (which probably wouldn't phase you , except for the left side of the road thing, because its no worse traffic than Boston) the freeways are well maintained and the smaller roads are narrow, but not a ton of traffic.
