The beginning of a once in a life time adventure in Ireland - A session in O’Donoghue’s and trying to get a taste for Guinness

On December 31st 2011 I set out on the adventure of a lifetime. To say it had been a long time coming would be a bit of an understatement. For my entire life I have been borderline-obsessed with Ireland thanks to my family’s Irish roots and the incredible history and culture of this wonderful country. So when the time came to finally fly off from Phoenix Sky Harbor I was both anxious and excited.
It was very difficult to say goodbye to everyone (much more so than I had anticipated) but knowing that everyone back home is a Skype chat or call away makes the prospect of being gone for five months seem much less daunting.
