When we left New York our aircraft (unknown to us at the time) blew a tire on take-off. Upon arrival in Ireland, the pilot wanted to burn off fuel to make the Boeing 707 as light as possible, so he gave us a tour of the whole country from something like 10,000 feet in altitude. I knew then why it was called \u201cThe Emerald Isle\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Now 44 years later my wife and I decided to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary by visiting Ireland. Faye comes from a Scotch-Irish ancestry and has always wanted to see Ireland. Since we lived in Scotland in 1976, now it&#8217;s Ireland&#8217;s turn.<\/p>\n<p>Starting May 25th, 2009, we started posting a daily log with photos and story&#8217;s here.
