Oh the places we shall see

As you are reading this we will be getting on a plane to start this adventure. 
When you make your travel plans there are a couple of good sites to use. I had used Sky Scanner. It was very easy to use. Found some really great deals. Our flights were booked as one way's. This was because we will be going to many differnet places. We will be starting out in Ireland, then to Scotland, off to Germany and many more places. I really have know idea where I will be at the end of this trip. Expedia was used for hotels and booking hostels. Viator was used for booking tours. There are other sites to use, but these really worked well for me.

Cost of things that have been booked so far

Flight from Sacramento, California to Dublin, Ireland one way $715

One night in a hotel $48.63 
After a long flight a good shower and a bed is a must

Guinness tour- We have to see where its made, 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KRISTA

3 Day tour around west side of Ireland including accommodations $508.30

2 nights in a hostel $78 that's $30 a night
Bus round trip to and from hotel $13.20

Dublin to Edinburgh $17.75

Castle 3 nights $444.99 this was split 3 ways $148.33, You can not go to Scotland and not see a castle everywhere. We took it one step further and will be staying in a castle. 
Because where else do Princess sleep. 




Car rental for 5dys $175.98 this was split 3 ways 58.66

And there is so much more to come, so standby.

Uniform Purse

I had been asked to make a purse for a spouse. I really enjoy make things but this is one of my favorites. I have made a lot in the last couple of years and no two are the same. Each one is unique in their own way.  The women receiving them really seem to enjoy the purse/ diaper bag. So lets get started. First get an ODU blouse Decide on what fabric you want.   Decide on if it is going to be a purse or a diaper bag. This is so you know how much you will have to cut off.  This one is going to be a purse. Then decide how many pockets. This one is going to have one pocket.  Add some handles.  I used the sleeves from the blouse and the rest of the patriotic fabric And here you have it.  A perfect way to support your SAILORS and TROOPS.

First stop Ireland

First stop Ireland I will say before you fly out of the country mental prepare yourself for a very long day. After getting to the airport, flights, layovers, more flights, more layovers, customs, bus ride to hotel,  we finally made it. 20 plus hours of travel can be rough. Especially when things don't go as smoothly as one would hope. Heathrow airport in London is a  rough one. WE FINALLY MADE IT!!! First stop on our list was the Storehouse Brewery in Dublin. Suitcases and all. The Storehouse is where Guinness is brewed.       ( The beer of Ireland)  We had prepaid tickets  for 5pm and didn't think we had time to check into the hotel. Purchase your tickets online, it will help you save a some money and time. The Storehouse customer service was awesome. Since we already had tickets we didn't have to wait in line and they offered to hold on to our suitcases till we were done. This place was huge, 4 stories o...

Third stop Germany

The third week into the trip we stopped over into Germany. Met some pretty amazing people. Krislynne friends were very nice. Krista happened to have a friend that was there during the same time, Christine. I would like to thank these two wonderful ladies again for driving, letting us crash your house and being our tour guides during our visit. It really meant a lot to Krista and I.   On evening we took a train to another town to experience wine fest, the biggest in the country. This event also included a smaller version of beer fest. It was crazy, so many people. Cant help but love the old time feel of this country. They still use wood street signs in some areas. Germany was a nice stop. We stayed at Krislynne place, she is really lucky to have the opportunity to live in a different country. Didn't do the traditional things that people do when they visit here. But we did hit up a lot of castles, churches, sampled wine and sampled local food.  Wha...
