Queenstown for (octogenarian) Beginners: A Farewell to Travel.

Sorry, but I have to briefly re-open this TR for one last important Epilogue-Slash-Public-Service-Announcement.

It is in regard to the Irish Pub which my mother and I dined at on the Wednesday night of our trip:

I just shared some of the photos with a friend who lives in Dublin, who gleefully informed me that the name of the pub, "Pog Mahones", means "Kiss my A**e" in Ireland!

The same friend also told me with some authority that the cider I had, Magners, has a well-deserved reputation for causing particularly brutal hangovers when consumed in excess! (Just as well I only live in blissful ignorance?)

Only just came across your TR.
Heartwarming, inspiring and some chuckles along the way. Appreciate the effort put into producing it; thank you so much for sharing.
