You should go to Blarney Castle
Blarney Castle and Gardens was the highlight of my Ireland trip. It was built nearly 600 years ago and millions still come to see it today. I didn’t know much about it, but I always like visiting historic buildings and castles in particular. I’ve been staying at Cork for a few days as it’s my stepdad’s birthday. His dad was born in this city, so it’s a close place to his heart. I hadn’t been to Ireland since I was 7 on a ferry trip to Dublin.

Many have heard of the famous 1997 film. It’s been over 110 years since the ship tragically sunk which claimed the lives of over 1500 people. Cruise ships nowadays can be bigger than the Titanic now, but at the time it was one of the biggest ships in the world. It’s still one of the greatest tragedies before both world wars.

With the Delta plane landing right on time, we excitedly arrived in Rome. On Thanksgiving Day, we were at the Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport. No problems going through customs.
