Tomorrow my better half & I depart on a trifecta of an adventure. After almost 4 years of marriage, we have traveled to/through about 25 of the 50 United States. We've seen some beautiful sights together: the Grand Canyon, Old Faithful, seals in San Diego, the Golden Gate Bridge, Sonoma wine country, the monuments of DC, and the beaches of the Outer Banks, to name only a few. And now, we venture outside of our beautiful homeland's borders to Europe.
3 countries / 4 friends / 12 days
IRELAND / ENGLAND / FRANCE
Our time in these countries will be spent mostly in the following 3 places...
DINGLE, ireland
Known for its breathtaking countryside & friendly folks, this fishing town nestled in Ireland's southwestern Dingle Peninsula & just a short drive from the famous Ring of Kerry will be our first stop.
LONDON, united kingdom
Next we'll hit up the gorgeous city of London. Here we'll stay with an Iranian family (family friends of the couple joining us on our trip) in their home near center city.
NORMANDY, france
The Chunnel will connect us to France where we'll hop off in Calais & drive to the Normandy region. We'll be staying in the coastal town of Port-en-Bessin-Huppain, but the highlight (especially for the hubs) is going to be checking out the Normandy landing beaches. Pictured above <top> is a photo taken from D-Day on June 6, 1944 and <bottom> the American cemetery.
I look forward to sharing about our adventures with photos of my own upon our return.
