Wahoo!

Today has been wonderful. Up and down fantastic.

Long story short, I found a round trip ticket to Cork, Ireland for 30 pounds on October 16-18th. Ecstatic, I ran and told my friends. However, most of them already have travel plans for the beginning of the month so everyone was a bit iffy. The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to go but doing so by myself seemed like a bad idea. Fifteen minutes later, I stumble across reviews of Whale Watching off the coast of Cork and how it is absolutely amazing. Everyone gave it top notch ranks and I knew I was sold. So I call my mom, knowing full well she is going to give me a definite, "You are crazy for even asking, I won't let you go alone," or a "You have to go!" As I finish on the phone, there is a knock at my door. As I answer, two of my friends tell me they are coming with.

So there you have it everyone. Whale watching off the coast of Ireland next month. I couldn't be more excited.
