Where Do You Want To Go?

Where Do You Want To Go?

That is something I often ask myself. I have day and night dreams about all the places I want to go. I can smell the ocean breeze, feel the sand and hear the waves. I know that my dreams are not the same as the dreams of others. Some people aspire to much different things, but still have a dream of going somewhere, someday. That is why one of my favourite questions to ask people is: "Where do you want to go?". There are two common ways people answer: a quick, decisive pronouncement; or a long, drawn-out bucket list.

No matter how people answer, the answers are always fascinating - as is the seemingly innate desire most seem to have to see and experience this magnificent world in which we live.

Over the past year people have started asking me this and other questions. "Where are you off to next?" "Any travel plans coming up?". So for those fine people who care, here is what I hope to do this year:
the summer will be full of camping. Several trips, both planned and impromptu, will be spent with family. I'll also be doing the requisite outdoor adventures with friends which will surely include as much fishing as possible. Then, in the mid-fall, I will be taking off to check out Europe - exploring Rome, Italy and Athens, Greece.

So now you know. And now it's your turn. I want to know where you want to go. Would it be tasting fresh bread in Paris and taking a selfie in front of the Eiffel Tower? Or will that selfie be at the top of Empire State Building in New York City with a slice of pizza in hand? Perhaps your plans don't include selfies. Perhaps it's just the sound of the ocean that you are after? Or a drive down the winding scenic roads of Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way? Maybe free drinks and cute cabana boys? Please, leave a comment below letting us know where you plan to go, or just where you want to go in the coming months. We really want to know.

A Boat Ride to Remember - Sliabh Liag Cliffs

SLIABH LIAGH CLIFFS are absolutely breathtaking, as you can see in the picture below.  Perched on top of the cliffs is a watch tower that was built to keep a look out for a possible invasion from Napolean Bonaparte and his men.

The coast line along Donegal Co. is absolutely breathtaking.

We were lucky enough to take a swim in one the many coves along the cliffs. (I did a cannonball in my underwear and quickly got out)  Our tour operator Sliabh Liag Boat Trips did a fantastic job of bringing out the sunshine and a few other surprises. (Watch Amazing Video Below)

Who doesn't love Dolphins?!? 

NOTE:The owner/skipper Paddy Byrne has over 20 years experience in commercial fishing, leisure angling and in the off shore wind farm industry and has all the necessary qualifications and training to make your trip a safe and memorable one.

Thanks Paddy

The Architecture in Dublin is breathtaking, especially the Cathedrals.



St. Patrick's Cathedral is beautiful, as you can see.
