Well...not much to report other than that the trip seems to be starting on a slow downward spiral.
The hostel experience has been a good one for the most part (although Sarah seems to have fared it a bit better that I have) but hearing other travellers our age talk about their trips and how they've moved from place to place all over Europe has made us realize that we may not have budgeted our time as well as we could have.
I have come to the conclustion that there are two types of travel....
1. Menu style: you pick one destination off of a map and chose to fully devour it
2. Buffet style: you "taste" a variety of different destinations
The buffet style of travel is by far the most popular choice among hostel-goers, and hearing all of the great stories about moving from country to country has made us a bit...well, disheartened.
But hindsight is always 20/20, right? Now we no for next time. And anyway....Ireland has been delicious.
That being said, I think I speak for Sarah as well when I say that we are very much ready to be headed home. It feels like we've seen most of what there is to see in our general locations, and, to be perfectly honest, we're starting to annoy eachother in a major way. Our differences proved to be helpful during the first two months of the trip...Sarah was the only one able to navigate the maps, and I was the only one who could remember the names of where we were trying to go...but now things are gettin' tense.
Just trying to keep it real here.
So, what is going to happen for the last two weeks? Well, it looks like the two of us will be parting ways to pursue our clashing interests...
Sarah plans to continue hostel-hopping along coastal towns so she can spend more time by the water, and I plan to head back to Brenda's where I will go on a Sukoku-solving-book-reading binge for the remainder of our time.
Anyway...thats about it. Hope everyone is having a stellar Thanksgiving! We are thankful for YOU, and for all of the support and love you've given us during this little adventure.
