Doolin is such a gem! I fell in love with this little town on the West Coast of Ireland. It’s the perfect location to check out the Aran Islands and Cliffs of Moher. I would base yourself in Doolin for a night, or two, if you really want to experience this area’s offerings. I suggest…

Wild County Donegal
This trip included stops in Glenveagh National Park, a climb up Errigal Mountain, a stay in Gweedore, stops in Malin Beg and Slieve League, a final stay over in Donegal, and of course lots of beautiful drives along the Wild Atlantic Way in between. County Donegal exceeded all of our expectations. The views were stunning…

48 Hours in London
Our favorite spot in London? Easy to answer, Borough Market. Our least favorite thing we did? Easy again, Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace. We only had a short 48 hours so we made the most of it and saw as much as we could. I’ll start with our favorite experience, Borough Market. Borough…
Italy During Christmas and New Years
Italy. I mean, wow. It’s a challenge summing up two weeks in this incredible country without rambling on and on. The cities, the countryside, the people, obviously the food and wine, all warrant their own posts. However, I’ll try to highlight the most memorable aspects of our trip and encourage those who haven’t experienced this…
About Relocation Operation
Thanks for checking out our blog! We moved to Dublin in November of 2018 and are forever working on “settling in”. It’s a running joke we have because we never feel settled and we’re beginning to accept that mindset. Our traveling experiences documented in this blog all start from Dublin and range in length from…
