Paris It is A Wrap

Posted on 2010/01/28 by Mark Tisdale
3

Two days to catch up on before I go upstairs and try to jam everything into my bag. I really haven’t gotten more than a few postcards and magnets since the package I sent home from Ireland, but everytime I … Continue reading →

Paris Beneath My Feet

Posted on 2010/01/25 by Mark Tisdale
Reply

Oh me, my feet are telling me it’s time to take a load off for a day or three, but somehow I’ll press on. There’s plenty of time to sit on those flights home Thursday. Here’s hoping, I don’t need … Continue reading →

High and Low in Paris

Posted on 2010/01/24 by Mark Tisdale
Reply

I was up somewhat late last night jotting out my own little love letter to the city of lights as regular readers saw… Having had a not so restful night (I never rest well before flights, worried I’ll miss them), … Continue reading →

Paris or Bust

Posted on 2010/01/23 by Mark Tisdale
Reply

As I expected, I was first to bed last night and there was a new room-mate in addition to the Italian. Never saw him or heard him so zero details. Morning came too fast. I woke 20 minutes before my … Continue reading →

Dublin Dénouement

Posted on 2010/01/22 by Mark Tisdale
Reply

Ah, my time in Dublin is rapdily diminshing like the grains of sand between my fingers.  If all goes as planned, this time tomorrow I’ll be in France! Yesterday I awoke to a gray and misty wet day.  I immediately … Continue reading →

Irish Ghosts

Posted on 2010/01/20 by Mark Tisdale
Reply

Yesterday was bus day. There’s no other name for it. I knew it was worth it to go ahead and waste a night than adding another night in Galway and losing today getting here, but it didn’t make it nicer … Continue reading →

Connemara and Killary Fjord

Posted on 2010/01/19 by Mark Tisdale
Reply

I’ve spent the past two nights here in Connemara at the Sleepzone Connemara overlooking the Killary Fjord. Reputedly this is the only Fjord in Ireland. Lonely Planet suggests that it’s not technically a fjord as it wasn’t glaciated. I’m not … Continue reading →

Goodbye Galway

Posted on 2010/01/16 by Mark Tisdale
Reply

I think I’ve done fairly well with my couch potato plans. I haven’t exactly been laying on a couch, but I’m also having an equally hard time coming up with what exactly I have been doing. I have wandered some … Continue reading →

Galway Potato

Posted on 2010/01/14 by Mark Tisdale

So, we’re working our way through day two of my planned couch potatoing. Oh and yes, for those who didn’t see my post on Facebook, I am off the island at last! No disrespect for Inis Mor and the Aran … Continue reading →

Abandon All Hope

Posted on 2010/01/12 by Mark Tisdale
Reply

It’s not just the pizza island, it’s the island of no return! No ferries ran today because of a storm. The winds were “50km” per hour. You do the math my friends who live in miles as I do. I … Continue reading →

If you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to contact me!
