Over the Rainbow

I've always dreamt of spending my birthday and St. Patrick's Day in Ireland and this year it was going to happen! I was learning Gaelic, mapping out my route, had my passport coming in the mail, and was looking into flights. 

When I was home, my parents suggested I skip the trip and save the money for a car. I scoffed but considered doing the responsible thing... then kept googling "Ireland landscapes".

Then the roommate I was going to travel with decided to go to her country alone. I was a little leery to go solo to Europe but what better potential for an adventure!

And then my boss told me that I have four vacation days left until August.

Okay God, I get the picture. For everything there is a season and apparently this is not my season for reckless Irish exploration.

So I'm putting aside that money and saving up for my next set of wheels, like my parents wanted. No promises though on whether my next mode of transportation has two wheels or four!

And I've decided to save up for Ireland a handful of change at a time.

Maybe by next year...
