In the beginning

At least, in the beginning of this very big trip for Toto and friend.

Tomorrow, May 9, 2011, I embark on my much anticipated 60th birthday trip to the British Isles. Planning began back in September or October when Mike, aka hubby, asked where I wanted to go for my 60th birthday trip, adding, "You can pick anywhere you want to go." OOOOO dear, "ANYwhere?" I asked as my heart rate increased.
"Yep, anywhere." he assured me.
"Hmmm, well," as my mind raced - Ireland, Australia, Italy, New Zealand, Austria, the moon - well maybe not the moon.
"If you really mean it, I want to go to Ireland." I pronounced definitely.
And so the seed was sewn, the idea formed.
