We Did Start the Fire

So it's been a few days sice we were able to find the internet, but right now adam and i are sitting in the public library in limerick. Let us catch you up to speed a bit.

The first day nothing too exciting happenned, we just kinda spent the evening exploring cork and eating some authentic irish food till the jetlag caught up to us and we crashed. The next morning is when the fun began. We took a bus out to blarney to see the castle and so that adam could accomplish his #1 goal of kissing the stone. Andrew wasn't gonna do it but we talked him into it. Then we were set to take a bus to the dingle penninsula and the randy leprechaun, but before we got on the bus mark had to make a quick pitstop to buy a speedo! Andrew kept complaining that he hated carrying all this change and we found out he had about $40 in coins in his pocket.

Anyways, we had another long bus ride to the small town of annascaul or something like that where we stayed at 'the randy leprechaun' hostel. And yes, like the name implies it was quite the adventure. In our room with us there was some horny, 40 year old french couple. Everytime we came into the room they were pretty much making out. We cooked some pasta then went to the bar attached to the hostel. It was karaoke night!!! It only took andrew 5 pints of guinness to work up the courage to sing 'we didn't start the fire'. Andrew and i sang 'sweet home alabama'. The Flame(mark) was somewhat of a dissapointment, he sat next to some australian girl all night and didnt talk to her, but he says it wont happen again ;)

Andrew's performance led to a conversation with phil, a tour guide who happenned to be stopped there for the night with his travelers. Phil said he had extra room and invited us to come along in the morning. So we hopped on with the random people from, pennsylvania, australia, new zealand, south africa and others and went on an amazing tour of the dingle penninsula, for free! All because of Andrew's bertiful singing.

Then we caught another bus back to limerick where we got some awesome chinese food at 'shamrock chinese restaurant'. Today we were going to try to get to the cliffs of moher, but it just didnt work out with the timing. We fly to edinburgh, scotland in a few hours. Also adam told me to add that we shaved his head bald last night and not to worry brooke cause he's still just as sexy. Mark also shaved his mohawk, but i think im gonna keep mine a few more days. Cheers!

The Eagle has Landed

So 24hrs after leaving madison we have arrived safely in Cork Ireland. It started with a 3 hr bus ride to chicago, sitting at the airport for a few hours, then a 2 hr flight to Newark, followed by a 6 hr flight to dublin and finally a 4 hr bus ride to cork...of which Mark slept for about 20 hrs. It seemed like everytime we turned our back he was out cold. Anyways, it's time for a Guinness!

We're Off!

Hey Everybody, we are sitting in Memorial Union at UW waiting for our bus to pick us up and take us to Chicago O'Hare where we will get on our flight this afternoon at 5pm and head to Newark, New Jersey before we skip over the big puddle and land in Dublin at what will be 3:30 am here. Zippy definitely didn't start packing until 9:45 this morning complete with two pieces of leapord print. It's going to be a long day with about 16 hours of traveling in front of us. We'll keep you all posted! Take care.

Shout out to our fans...

Now that we are about to embark on our international tour we would just like to take this opportunity to thank all of our fans out there. We certainly couldn't do this without all of your love and support. We are very excited to get into some random European adventures, and also excited to be able to tell you about it! So sit back, relax and enjoy!

less than 10 days!!!

holy crap, we have less than 10 days!!!! are you boys gettin pumped??? I almost got everything ready, just need my mohawk and a speedo, which are probably the least of my worries, but they are essential. Is there anything else we need to setup? When you boys getting down here? Ready to be rocked...

Specifics

Okay so I was reading and I guess at a lot of places you can preorder tickets...for example the Louvre in Paris. With preordered tickets you do not have to wait in line. Does anyone else want to go there? Would this be of interest to us? Also I found the night train route from Krakow to Prague,it leaves Poland at 10 and gets into Prague at like 7 in the morning and its non stop, we cannot purchase the tickets online, at least I haven't found a place to do that yet. I also looked into Edinburgh to London going to cost us around 80 bucks a head. Getting jacked up here in La Crosse!!!

1 Month From Today

According to my calendar it is June 15th which means we'll be in Chicago in exactly one month. WOO HOO. What else do we have to plan before we get over there?? a couple train tickets from Edinburgh to London and from Krakow to Prague, right? anyways just thought i'd point out we're a month out. Talk to you guys later.
