Well this year we sure had our fair share of roadtrips:
#1. Dublin - Killaloe & back - 300 km round trip
In a 5 door diesel 1.4 engine, so different to my car back home
Highlight: stringing up the iPad

#2. Dublin - Galway - 350km round trip
In the Ford Auris diesel 1.8l engine with a a manual gearbox - so different to my 3.5l suv back home. But what fun. I love driving, real driving, on country roads that twist & turn , especially the ones when you hold your breath for a few seconds because there might not be enough room for both cars to get past each other. So far, so good on that one!
Highlights: the pit stops along the way (Liffey Valley for coffee with Pat Mc; Loughrea to see Nicky & kids; seeing Perry & Bromwell's place in Rhode, Co Offaly); picking up turf from the road and the scenery in general
