pobauto,
Thank you for the link for the hand spinning and weaving guild. That is exactly the kind of craft we are looking for.

blankk,
Thank you for the suggestions for Limerick. I have been in e-mail communication with a B&B and a hostel there.

We plan on taking a military hop to wherever in Europe, then make it to Ireland by most probably a combination of hops and bus or even commercial flights. Without knowing exactly where we are going and when we will land in Europe until we are on a flight manifest, it is difficult to make reservations and arrangements ahead of time. Originally planned to be there by the end of last month, but flexibility is key. This was much easier to do when our squadrons were active, but have been decommissioned since we last did this. Also, the MAC flights that previously flew from the Atlanta airport no longer depart and return there. We caught a flight to Germany from there years ago- all five of us. So, we are learning as we navigate through the process of MAC flights again in lieu of base closures, streamlining the military and post nine eleven. Although we have the sky miles for round trip tickets, I am not ashamed to confess I am too stingy and frugal (aka cheap) to use them right now. For us, part of this adventure is in the journey and learning to be self-sufficient. Not that we will be wandering around aimlessly, but almost…

Thank you again pobauto and blankk for your replies.
