Gubbeen is near

Ireland draws closer and now I'm scrambling to pack and get everything ready for the trip. Little things here and there are starting to make this almost imaginary trip more tangible. Most importantly, Giana of Gubbeen Cheese wrote me and instructed me to take the Schull bus to Skibbereen where I will finally be picked up by the Gubbeen crew. In total this makes my trip have four legs: SFO-BOS, BOS-DUB, Dublin to Cork, and finally Cork to Skibbereen. Phew!
