We took off for Dunfanaghy from a thundery, wet Dublin. Car stacked with the important stuff – iPad, switches, chargers and most important, the car snacks. My daughter is always in charge of the road trip snacks. Google maps stated under four hours, I added […]
I remember driving past the sign for Derry on a trip to Dundalk and Carlingford and noting it in my notepad in my head to revisit. Roll on a few months and I found myself looking at Airbnb for Derry spurred on by a friend […]
