Sherry, great news! Congrats!

We do have a big day coming up immigration-wise, the AOS interview is tomorrow! But I'm actually posting because I am going to Ireland soon and soooooo excited about it. :dance: We never applied for AP, so the hubby's not coming, I'm staying with his family for some of the trip, traveling with friends for the rest. I can't wait to eat some Hoggy's chips cheese and garlic and buy some Moro bars!!

Those of you from around the Cork area (or anyone else really) what daytrips can you suggest?? (My friends are going to Belfast for a few days, I've already been and want to spend more time with the in-laws, but they work during the day, so I want to go out and do something touristy on my own.) I've already been to Kinsale and Blarney several times, visited Cobh, Youghal and many other towns... I need someplace bus accessible as I don't want to burden the in-laws with providing lifts. One place I've been considering is a haunted castle a couple hours north of Cork, I'll have to ask hubby for the name of it again, but other then that I can't decide where to go. Any suggestions?? thanks!

J&J hope all went well at the interview! Kewl news on the upoming trip as well. Wish I was going over too LOL. When I was over we went to the Ring of Kerry but it would be something you would need a lift for, but deffinately a beautiful site, we also went to Muckross house, its an estate in Kerry. Other than that you have done most of the things I would recommend. Have a safe trip and eat lots of butlers chocolate for me...LOL

he won't be here for another month or so :( he is working at the moment so he is saving every penny he can. I think he will be here by mid-September. I am soooooooooo happy. It was a long journey for us & we are so glad that this part is over.

I still can't believe he got it. It turns out they did approve him on July 14th when he went in but...........they wanted to wait & see his court transcripts to make sure he was only arrested for drunk & disorderly. I am over the moon & can't wait to see him.
