Name: Carly
Destination: Ireland
Why did you choose this destination? Because my fiancee's background is part Irish, and I've never really read about it before.
What are you excited to see/ visit? The Blarney Stone
What kind of food are you excited to try? Shepherd's Pie. I've tried Americanizations of it, but I'm curious to try the real thing.
What language do they speak at your destination? Both English and Irish.
Will you need to convert your money? Yes, to Euros.
What are you going to pack? A raincoat, but nothing too heavy, as the island is warmed by the North Atlantic Current.
