Travel Cubes - could be AWESOME!

I got a great rec for these from my friends Ang and Heather, so I thought I'd give them a try for our trip to Ireland:

I'm hoping they help me to pack a little more compactly :)

Mark wants to check out some of these castles while we're there, so I thought I'd post the link:

Great travel bag off ebay!

I've been looking for a smaller travel shoulder bag for our trip, just to stow the things I need on a daily basis (cash, credit cards, bottle of water, etc.) for while we're sightseeing in the towns, and was struggling to find something that not only was practical, but also that fit my personality. 

For those of you who know me well, you know that I hate spending very much on accessories, but I like having really cute accessories.  I was thrilled to find this bag on ebay after very little searching and I can't wait until it arrives :)  I think it'll be perfect for me!

Found a hiking waist pack!

I've been slightly discouraged when researching items I feel will be good to have while we're in Ireland, and one of them has been a waist pack to wear that has water bottles on it and a pouch for us to use when we're hiking at whatever point along our trip.

The only ones I've found that would fit the bill are in the $50 price range, which, IMO is just too much to spend on an only slightly-necessary item that we'd use a couple times on the trip.  I had almost given up hope, when I decided to just glance at the camping section of Walmart the other day, and I FOUND IT!  For $10, no less :)  It's perfect, and it has 2 16-oz water bottles that go with it, so it will work wonderfully for our trip!

It's here!

My passport finally arrived in the mail yesterday, so we can begin the booking!  To be honest, I'm getting that overwhelmed feeling again, and I hope it goes away soon!

Look out, World - here I come!!
