Travelling Minions 2023, a Year in Review

ByTravelling Minion December 31, 2023 5 Comments
2023 seemingly feels like a bigger travel year than others in the past. While I didn't go on as many trips, the ones I did go on felt pretty grand and I'm not upset by it! Traditionally, I've tried to have one "big" trip and multiple smaller ones throughout the year. However, this year it feels reversed with multiple big trips and only a few smaller trips. Even with a pause in travel in order to...

Mad Yolks This morning, I get up bright and early in order to give myself plenty of time to walk from my hotel to the Jameson Distillery. In fact, I gave myself so much time that I arrived early and the distillery hadn't opened yet. Good thing I did a little research beforehand and found a breakfast spot nearby. Mad Yolks is a cool breakfast sandwich shop and I picked up a great egg sandwich...

Flying to Ireland Even though I've been fortunate enough to travel a little in 2022, this would be my first (non-US) international trip since the pandemic began. (My 2021 Birthday flights notwithstanding since I never left any airports!). With this in mind I did arrive at the airport a bit early just to be safe.
