12 Days of Madness

With all the time we spent in the car and on busses and on planes and on ferries on our trip, we had a lot of time to amuse ourselves... So we made up various renditions of the Twelve Days of Christmas based on our adventures.

We have two versions for summing up the trip in general:

12 course corrections

11 doses of Benadryl

10 bottles of coke

9 service stops

8 English breakfasts

7 hour plane flights

6 bagpipers playing

5 million sheep

4 different countries

3 crazy tour guides

2 ferry crossings

1 giant bag of Becky's trail mix!

That trail mix saved us more than once. Meals were tricky some days.

12 hours of driving

11 trips to Carroll's

10 scenic pull offs 

9 days with sunshine

8 cups of cocoa

7 fights with Prudence

6 thousand pictures 

5 motorways

4 very full checked bags

3 fighting Irishmen

2 duty free cafes

And one suspicious solid metal anvil...

Oh, that anvil.... Still shaking my head about it.

And then.... There was the souvenir song...

12 pounds of chocolate

11 refrigerator magnets

10 Christmas ornaments

9 pieces of fudge

8 tartan accessories

7 Irish t-shirts

6 boxes of shortbread

5 Celtic rings

4 bears in kilts

3 Scottie dogs

2 highlander husbands

A mini bagpipe none of us can play

The bagpipe.... Hahahaha. I forgot about that. 

Great trip. Great memories. Starting the countdown for going back already!
