My great-grandparents on Dad's side are from Cork and Killarney. (Mom's side is from Palermo, Sicily.) Anyhoo, I've kind of had a dream of finding a pretty little town in Ireland or the U.K. Looks nice out there. And they say the people are really kind, too.

I grew up in the big city but I don't know if I'll ever be able to afford that.
