To All Those We Left Behind In America: 2013

To All Those We Left Behind in America

Welcome to the travel blog for our 2008 holiday in Ireland.

For our 2006 and 2007 holidays in Ireland, we sent emails with photos attachments to friends and relatives that resulted in jammed inboxes for some of them, so we switched to this travel blog format. (This let people choose as much or as little of our travels as they cared to see.)

The 2009 travel blog is at the URL address: leftbehindinamericaagain.blogspot.com

The 2013 travel blog is at the URL address: toallthoseweleftbehindinamerica-3.blogspot.com

Remember that if you would like to view the holiday in chronological order, you need to go to the bottom-most posting in the "BLOG ARCHIVE" on the right, by "clicking" on the little triangles that open the year and the month entries. After completing a posting, you proceed to the next one above it.

Thank you for joining us.

"To All Those We Left Behind In America..."

is the "travel journal" we plan to use for this year's Holiday in Ireland.

So, WELCOME.

That's us in the photo above, Robert & Susan O'Keane, also known as "Bob & Sue" and "Rob & Sue."

Two farm kids who went into "teaching" careers, until they found their true calling in the careers of "retirement."

We are coming from rural "Wisconsin" in America's Heartland, about a hundred miles north of Chicago.

We can be reached there and on holiday at okeane.robert@gmail.com .

This "blog spot" is operated by the Google people and should have NO advertisements/pop-ups/etc.

In previous years, the emails with photo attachments that we sent to friends and relatives jammed a few email "in boxes" and perhaps brought some pain to people too kind to skip the excessive rambling and "way-too-many" photos.

With this "blog/journal," you only have to lose or forget this blog address to become free of watching two vacationers' never-ending slide show with rambling narrative.

Although this blog/journal creates a more simple format, it does not remove the problem that "some people can talk for hours until they can think of something to say."

Unfortunately, that appears to apply to the correspondent half of the writing and photo team you see pictured above.

Therefore, consider yourself forwarned---but all the more welcome for your bravery and stamina.

(And, no, we will not consider changing the name of this Ireland Holiday Blog Site to "Blog on a Bog.")

Note: the most recent "blog posts" will be at the top of this blog site; the earlier or "bottom" posts will start with a 2008 itinerary, preceded by 2007 and 2006 Ireland holiday summaries.

And, as usual, our posts will be subject to internet access/availability on any given day or week.
