Side trek #1

I might come to love Ryan Air.

I just booked a flight from Shannon to Rome for late April for under $45 USD with all taxes and fees. (The inital 14.99 EUR pricetag was too good to be true, but still.)

I haven't worked out the details of that side trip yet, but the rough idea is to spend two days in Rome, then head up to Florence to meet up with my friend Jen when she arrives. I'll spend a few more days tagging along with her and her cousin(s), then part ways and trek on up across Germany and probably France, and catch a flight back to Ireland from probably Paris or Amsterdam.

Wow... that's all just crazy talk. But its real.

More to come.
