It has been my dream to go to Ireland for forever pretty much.. I didn't make it to Northern Ireland last Summer but am currently setting something up to stay in Dublin for four months starting in January. Oh. my. goodness. It's really happening! This is my dream.. and it's the strongest motivating factor I've ever had (besides transferring to a University in the Fall). Now when I crave something or don't really feel like going to the gym I think of Ireland and how I want to be fit enough to see as much as I can! Yay!
I am SUPER jealous and excited for you. I also have the dream of visiting Ireland one day. A friend of mine went last year and her stories, pictures were amazing.
I decided to work toward that goal last year. You know...saving the money, getting the passport, etc. I have the passport, not the money yet, but I will.
Good luck getting to goal. What a great incentive.
I'm doing it though a study abroad program at the University of California. I'm absolutely in love with Irish culture, music, literature, etc. I love it so you're right, this is a HUGE incentive for me! I hope you get to go one day. Thank you!
What wonderful motivation!! You can do it! I hope you'll share some pictures with us when you're back -- I hear that there are beautiful landscapes to see!
New motivating factor :)
That sounds really exciting! I'm so glad you are getting a dream come true! 
I hope you'll share some pictures with us when you're back -- I hear that there are beautiful landscapes to see!
