Taking my mom to Ireland!! Update #1
Ireland
So, last month I announced that I am taking my mom to Ireland! It was honestly one of the best moments of my life being able to see her dream fulfilled, and the fact that I was the one that made it happen for her... I'm just so happy.
The Plans
We are flying out of D.C. on May 14th, so just a little over a month out. I have been working like crazy to make sure everything is ready. It has been pretty stressful, not going to lie, but I am so excited!!
Dublin
We will be flying into Dublin, after a short layover in Reykjavik, Iceland! Is a long flight altogether, I believe somewhere between 10-12 hours, including layover. We will be arriving early in the morning in Dublin, somewhere around 10 A.M. After a long flight to show up in the morning time isn't THE BEST, but we will try to make the most out of the day. Probably get a little bite to eat, and then we will be off, in our rental car, to the West.
We decided it'd be best to go straight to west Ireland that same day instead of just spending a night in Dublin and then leaving the next day, we are heading straight for Ennis!! Not saying that we won't be spending any time in Dublin, the last few days of our trip will be spent there.
Ennis
We will be staying in Ennis for the first 3 days of our trip. This is a great central location for Cliffs of Moher, amazing ancient Abbey's, castles, fairie forts, etc. A lot of history around Ennis!! Can't wait!
After that we will be heading to Dingle!
Dingle
Dingle is a very small town on the far west of Ireland situated on the Dingle peninsula. While spending a few days in the town of Dingle will truly be a blast, it's the scenery that's going to be amazing. The Dingle peninsula is often called the most beautiful place in all of Ireland. We will be spending our days here horseback riding, driving around the peninsula on the many different scenic routes, enjoying fresh fish caught that day!! Mannnnnn, this is going to be a blast!
After spending the weekend there, we will be heading back to Dublin for our last few days. I will update you guys further when more plans are laid and we have more things situated. Can't wait for this once in a lifetime trip!! Going to be amazing!
Hope you both have an awesome time!!!!
Thanks!! I know we will. I can't wait to see how she's going to act when we're there. It's been a long time since I've seen her truly stress free and just living in the moment. Even if there's just a moment of that there, it'll all be worth it.
Saw the video where you told her the news that you're going. Congrats, man. I hope you both have the time of a lifetime.
Thanks brother, I really appreciate it. I can't wait, most excited I've been about any trip ever.
It seems like everything is under control, your work has not been in vain, you seem like a happy and grateful son with your mother who sure fought a lot for you, what better payback than to give you a little more happiness! I hope you have a great time, I'm sure your nerves are on edge, but I'm sure everything will be fine, take lots of pictures and share with us, I wish you the best of the holidays, happy night.
Yea man, for sure. I am definitely grateful. My mom raised all 4 of us practically by herself, meanwhile getting a college education, working 2-3 jobs CONSISTENTLY. She is super woman.
My nerves are a bit on edge, but it's lessening day by day as everything is falling into place. Now that I have my passport, I know it's allllll good.
Thanks for the encouraging words!
That'll be a great trip! decreed
seems like a right place for your mom, i wish i can take my mom and my family too

Awesome man!! Im sure your mum will really enjoy her visit to Ireland!!
The Emmerald Isle welcomes you both! haha, hope you guys get some good weather too for your trip!!
We should totally shoot a wee video or somethin if you still wanna meet up in Dublin!!
Hell yea dude, we definitely need to do a video or something. Within the next couple weeks we should really get a song done together and then shoot that there. Maybe we could do one of the ones we recorded with Seveaux? Like "Can't Stop the Funk?"... Is possible, what you think?
yeah could do!! If so we should defs still do more tunes together anyway!! Maybe pick the best one or somethin
