Hey guys! About four or so months after my last trip ended, my sister went on a trip with her then-boyfriend. He proposed to her there and they loved the place so much that they decided to have a destination wedding because they wanted to share the natural beauty with the rest of the family....

Moher to See, Moher to Do.
For the sake of brevity (and because unfortunately, I'm running behind schedule on my posts) I'll keep this post fairly short. We started off pretty early in the day to try to beat most of the crowd to the Cliffs Of Moher. We didn't have any definite plans on what we wanted to do with... Continue Reading →
Exploring the Dingle Peninsula
Alright friends, the time has come for me to talk about what is quite possibly my favorite place in the whole world: The Dingle Peninsula. Part of me is extremely glad we skipped the Ring of Kerry because had we not, I probably would not have gotten to see the Dingle Peninsula at all. It... Continue Reading →
On to Ireland!

Our last name (Neely) is thought to have descended from multiple other surnames (MacNeely, Neeley, Nealy, and O'Neill, the last of which is very interesting due to that specific clan's...

Edinburgh
Hey all welcome back! I apologize for the lengthy pause between posts but Edinburgh is one of the coolest places I've ever been and I wanted to do the city justice by making sure my post properly portrayed how I feel about it. Edinburgh is a place where you can move from the present to... Continue Reading →
To London!
Hi All! Today's post (if it wasn't obvious) is about the first leg of our journey! We only spent one night in London (regretfully only one, there was far too much to see in such a short time) but we slammed it with as much as we could squeeze in! As will most usually be... Continue Reading →
Let the Wanderlust Begin
Hey guys! I'm going to start this post off by saying I'm sorry for the long rambling post. Since it is the first one, I figure I will catch you all up on how I came to finally realize my dream of travelling abroad. So let me say, this isn't the story of my first... Continue Reading →
