We love to go somewhere where the holiday decor is bright and sparkling. We don&#8217;t always leave on December 26th, however! Travel during the holiday season can be challenging, but it is also a unique time of year to see a new destination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">We tried something new, and we traveled to Dublin, Ireland, and Edinburgh, Scotland, to enjoy the holiday cheer and spend New Year&#8217;s Eve watching the fireworks display over the historic Edinburgh Castle.

Yes, but no more than where we live in the Pacific Northwest!

You will learn that too! It is the Scottish word for New Year&#8217;s Eve.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I also share how I plan a trip and that, in addition to personal research and asking other travelers, I go to Pinterest! Pinterest is the #2 or #3 (depending upon who you ask) search engine! It has been super helpful to me. Here is a link to my Pinterest: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/suzannestavert\/\">HERE!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In this fun and comedy-filled episode (I have some stories), you will hear about our favorite spots in Dublin, which includes a visit to Guinness, Jameson Distillery, and the museum where U2 is front and center.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">I share my insider perspective on Edinburgh, a city that stole our hearts, and about a restaurant where they celebrate the history of witches.
