Laura had travelled to the UK in August 1994 until November 1995. We Linda, Paul and myself, decided to fly over to the UK in September. we planed to stop off in Moscow then Rome before arriving in London.
Unfortunately because of her work And the fact that she was returning home in November Laura could not take the time off to travel with us to Ireland then Scotland. If we could go back I know she wishes she had left the job and travelled with us.
We caught up with family and friends, David joined Linda, Paul and me on our zigzag drive from London through Wales to Fishguard then on the car ferry to Wexford Ireland.
Our Irish trip saw us visiting Waterford, Kilkenny, Blarney Castle, Limerick, Dublin, Galway Bay, Sligo, Donegal, Londonderry/Derry, The Giants Causeway, Belfast and then the ferry from Larne to Stranraer Scotland.
