I hope you are staying well and are getting ready to celebrate St. Patrick's Day this year! Tourism Ireland proclaims that the "Craic is Back." That means fun and enjoyment and good times for all.

Travel to Ireland is increasing as many restrictions are lifting. Wouldn't a visit be wonderful! It may be time to start planning a trip.

Get warmed up by toasting St. Patrick on March 17th. Did you know that St. Patrick's real name is said to have been Maewyn Succat?

It is believed that St. Patrick died in the year 461 and his burial place is widely accepted to be at Down Cathedral, Downpatrick, Northern Ireland.

I had the good fortune to visit the site. I hope you will visit one day, too.
