In 2012, after our 9th wedding anniversary, I started thinking about year #10. Ten years. A decade. It's a milestone, something to be celebrated. I wanted to take a ten year anniversary trip. I'm not sure when I knew I wanted to go to Ireland. It didn't hit me one night to go there. It was more of an evolving longing that grew over time until it just seemed to be the right fit. I've always had a passion for that corner of the world, and when the hubs said he liked the idea it was settled. Thus started the year long romance between me and Ireland. A year of reading, planning, saving, and dreaming.
We chose October for our trip for two specific reasons. First, we didn't want to go during peak season, which is June, July, and August. Second, my sister, who is a teacher, had her Fall Break during mid-October. This turned out to be a great time to visit! The months of October and April and May are considered the 'shoulder' season. During this time you get the best of both worlds; longer daylight hours, good weather, and most attractions are still open, but the prices and availability of peak season are not as high.
