We flew to New York
Ate dinner at Sardi's
Enjoyed 9 to 5 in 2nd row front and center.
Made it to a quilt shop.
Next we boarded the Queen Mary II for a 6 day journey across the pond.
Our anniversary dinner was celebrated in the Todd English dining room.
When we disembarked in Southampton, England, we boarded a train to Gatwick and on a plane to Dublin. Got in a car and drove to Kilkenny for our first night.
At times I thought that Jack having to drive on the wrong side on NARROW roads would be the end of our 40 years together but we managed to enjoy the countryside and each town as we drove for the next 4 days.
We visited with Mary O'Leary who now lives in the house that my Grandfather inherited and lived in 1900. He didn't stay long before he returned to California and the life he had before the title of Baron and landlord to the estate.
We had a wonderful time.

What a fantastic way to spend your anniversary!! Looks like you both had a terrific and relaxing time. I always thought that it would be fun to travel by cruise ship across the pond.
Whoa! Romantic? I'd say ... nothing like doing the whole gamut! And you wound up in my beloved Ireland ... what a lovely romantic 'honeymoon'. If I'd known, you'd have had an extra steamer with your luggage ... I'd have been tucked inside ... chuckle!
Congratulations for a lot of wonderful memories to hold close to your heart on such a blessed moment in your lives.
