There are definite benefits to traveling with real adults. When Chris and I were first planning our trip, he was convinced that he wanted to do a touring group, where we’d basically stayed in hostels the entire visit. I tried to convince him to rent a car and staying at B&Bs would be less expensive and more flexible, but he preferred the other option. So be it, I’m a camping girl by nature, so “roughing it” a little by staying in crowded hostels and sharing tepid water didn’t bother me too much. Besides, it’d be an adventure.

Once his parents were invited along, however, the plans changed. Definitely in a good way.

Chris’s mom email me today with the websites/pictures of our lodging in Ireland. Take a look:
