I booked a trip with an all woman’s group to Catalina Island! I didn’t know anyone, but I made friends fast! You can read about my experience with the group in my post on the gratitude page called New Friends at Catalina Island. It was such a beautiful day to experience the island. The sun was shining, the water was clear and the company was amazing.

When I woke up, I decided to stay in the room and write about yesterday instead of going downstairs for breakfast. When I did finally come downstairs with all my stuff, the lovely host asked if I wanted anything to eat or coffee. I asked for some coffee. While she prepped that, I put all my luggage in the car. She seemed determined for me to eat something so she made me some toast. I put some butter and black currant jam on it. It was delicious. I asked if it was still okay if I hiked up the hill to see the waterfall she told me able yesterday. She said of course!

I checked in to my bed and breakfast around 1pm in County Wicklow. They have three mini horses. Their names are Chloe, CoCo and Joey. The host was very sweet and helpful. She showed me straight to my room and told me a few things to do while I’m here. Before I left, I fed the horses carrots I had bought. They loved them of course!

I went to the Doolin Pier this morning to purchase a ferry ticket to go out to the biggest Aran Island called Inishmore or Inis Mór. I added on a cruise around the Cliff of Moher too! The lady I purchased tickets from said one of the Harry Potter movies was filmed there, so I’m excited to see! And she said the puffins are out and about!

I popped awake about 7am, so excited about my tour today! I got ready, curled my hair and found out my hotel serves early breakfast! I came down and ordered a mini Rose breakfast and coffee. Everything came so quickly this morning!!! That worked out well cause I had to be on the road shortly.

After a pretty hectic morning, I finally got onto the road headed to Dingle. The town was super busy, so I didn’t stop. I drove aimlessly trying to find a place to eat. I finally ended at a place called Tig Aine. Their back tables over look stunning views of the water, beaches and cliffs. As the water approaches the beach it turns the most beautiful color teal.

The entry way to the Bantry House is just as stunning as the home. The Bantry House still has relatives living in the home and hosts a Bed and Breakfast too. There’s incredible artwork, scriptures and furniture taking us back in time. The well manicured garden is surrounding a beautiful fountain.

I drove to the Baltimore Beacon. It was a steep, rocky climb up to the top! Once at the top, you finally see the iconic view of the beacon.

Popped awake at 2am! I researched more things to do on our trip, got ready, packed up and hit the road. We left the hotel at 3:50am. We headed to Dunmore East for the Coastal Cliff Walk. We arrived at our destination at 4:45am. The cliffs are stunning. It was early so it was foggy, but we could still see the stunning cliffs, rocks and water below.

Rise and shine to a beautifully cloudy day.

We arrived at the airport very early! We relaxed and ate pizza before checking in our bags. A sweet man at TSA said I had a wonderful smile. Wished me well on my trip to Ireland. He said to drink all the beer for myself & for him!

One of my friends is a teacher, so for her Spring Break we planned a trip to Vegas! We stayed at a hotel neither of us had ever been to, but we had a blast! From delicious foods to amazing shows and kind people.

A couple friends from high school had invited me to go with them on a trip to Rosarito for a spring break event. It happened to be the same time as my 25th birthday so I decided to go and enjoy myself.
