A tired Galway Girl

Where did we leave off…oh right. A very tired Erin was making her way from Dublin to Galway with her brother on a Saturday morning in January.

A short, overdue trip to Dublin

The rumors are true — I visited Ireland once again! It was a little over five years since I was last there.

For any loyal readers, you know the reason I started the blog was to write about my travels during my time abroad at Maynooth. While this trip didn’t involve a lot of studying, I still loved being back on the Emerald Isle for a few days.

Conquering Cascade and Porter: Two Adirondack High Peaks in one day

It’s been a while since I drove through the Adirondacks in New York. In fact, I decided it had been too long, and asked my friend if I could crash on her couch in Lake Placid for a weekend.

We decided to conquer Cascade Mountain early Saturday morning. Join me on this journey, won’t you?

Wrapping up summer with a Jersey Shore music festival

Picture this: it’s the dead of winter, and I’m freezing in Western New York. I see an ad for a summer music festival in New Jersey, with promises of good music and fun times. To break out of this winter funk, I buy tickets after seeing Stevie Nicks headlining.

Fast forward to September 2022. I’m in Asbury Park, NJ, for Sea Hear Now Festival. It’s sunny, 80 degrees, and there’s not a cloud in sight.
