I’m Back Home

….after two glorious weeks in Ireland

We just got off the plane a little over two hours ago. I went through all the mail, threw away things in the fridge that I should have tossed before we left (yuck!!!), picked some vegetables from the garden and charged up my laptop. I’ve really missed the laptop. The iPad was okay but it gave me a lot of grief when I tried to keep up with my blog. I think I will write a critique about using an iPad when on vacation.

I’m anxious to upload the photos from my camera. I wasn’t able to do that with the iPad. I’ve a lot of wonderful moments and photos to share. Give me some time to sort myself out here at home (friends to phone, family to visit, and laundry to do) and I need to organize my thoughts and not repeat things that I have already posted.

First thing I need to do is go to the drug store and see if I can get some over the counter medication for pink eye. My poor husband managed to pick up a nasty case of it on his last day in Ireland; how or where he contacted it we’re not sure but I don’t want it. Poor Mr. Burgerhead. Don’t ask. It’s a name his cousin’s sons came up with after we spent some time with them. K actually loves the nickname and we miss the boys already.IMG_0355 IMG_0085

  1. It goes by so fast, doesn’t it? I lugged my MacBookPro around for three weeks in my backpack. It was heavy, but easier to use than the ipad. I’m still fighting the relapse of the cold I got while in Europe. I think it’s on its way out. I’ve been resting and resting and resting. There’s just no time for rest when you’re traveling and you want to fit so many activities in while you’re there. Welcome back to North America.

    • Even though the iPad is lighter it felt pretty heavy when carrying it in my over the shoulder bag. If I were to purchase my own I might consider the mini iPad but by next year when I’m ready to travel again, I’m sure there will be a ‘new and improved’ version. The new ‘smart cameras’ intrigue me.

      • Air conditioning!!! It’s heating we usually need. Hardly worth having air conditioning when this good weather only comes around every 20 or so years. Our climate in these islands has a great deal to answer for. Glad the weather was amazing – better than being flooded out.

  3. I saw something in the news about iPhone sales going up and iPad sales going down. I think tablet PC’s would do better on a vacation. At least you had a wonderful time in Ireland. šŸ™‚

    • I’ll probably need a new phone in the near future. When the contract on my current phone finishes I’ll be looking into the new iPhone (whatever that may be). Right now I have the old iPhone 3 and the camera on it is bad.
