Thank you to everyone who helped in the planning of our trip but...

Sad to say, today we should have been leaving for Ireland but due to medical reasons we had to cancel the trip! During a hiking trip in May I slipped and chipped the end off my elbow and detached my triceps. Six weeks later (just when I was starting therapy) my husband had triple by-pass. We are both during well but I am not sure how my arm would have handled the windy roads and my husband can't fly for 3 months. We did take out travel insurance through AAA and they have reimbursed our airfare...which was the only out of pocket we had. I can't believe how wonderful and caring the B&Bs were when I called to cancel and Dan Dooley (car rental) promptly refunded our money. We have decided to do the trip next September and this time to circle the entire island! So I will be back with tons of questions about Northern Ireland. I had promised to do a write up about our trip so I guess everyone will just have to wait till next year. I am still reading everyone's questions and post and I can't believe how helpful this forum is. So thank you to everyone who answered my previous questions and I will be back with more.

So sorry you had to cancel, but knowing you both will be well enough to still travel will make it even more enjoyable. Hope the forum gives you even better restaurants, B&Bs, sights to visit next year.

So sorry to hear your sad news. Sending you prayers for full recovery. My husband had similar health issues and once he recovered we were able to go to Switzerland. The trip was so special. We counted our blessings and enjoyed every moment. You will too!
