Ireland Trip Day 8: Trim and Goodbye

We packed up and said goodbye to our lovely AirBnB.  Seriously such a nice place.  

And then we headed towards Trim which was on our way to the Dublin airport.  It was Sunday so the town was a bit sleepy, but the castle was spectacular.  I only wish we would have more time.  There were all kinds of monastic ruins and cool places in Trim we didn't have time to see properly.  The castle was very cool.  (It was featured in Braveheart)

After one last delicious Irish meal we headed to the airport.  Was very very grateful for the expensive insurance we bought at the airport, because we just turned in our fender bendered car.  The woman beside us at the rental agency had not purchased the insurance and was in deep trouble.  We went through Irish security and then had to go through US TSA security which at first made me feel ragey until I found out when we landed in NYC it would be like landing on a domestic flight.  Customs and all of that happened in Dublin.  It was so slick and amazing.  

We had the BEST time.  Ireland was never on my bucket list because, who knows why, but it was one of the coolest places. Rob and I fell in love with it and we had a grand time and we will be back.  There was so much we didn't get to see and do.  I suppose that is the trade off.  Live in Santa Fe for the time off and pay so we can see the world.  Wahoo!  Happy 20th to us!
