Head count so far.......

McGee's: Brian, Dina, Johnny, Courtney, Tom, Ann, Ellen, and Emily. The Fats are still thinking about it.
Rhode Island Mullaugh's: Paul, Terry, Erin, Nate, and Jessica.
Pittsburgh Mullaugh's: Betsy, Abby, Jumbo, Barb, Scott, Jenn, and Katie.
West Side Ladies: Patty, Betsy, and Cathy.

So far that is 23, not including sean and danny and their clan. Good numbers so far. Who else are we missing that would possibly be interested.

Next step is the date, First week of August?

Making good progress here people, lets keep it up.

OK so either the first or second week of august sounds good to me. i am definitely in!

From Paul, aka Al, aka Dad

I think we should decide on a date, the first or second week of august and then decide upon a place that will accommodate those who are going. maybe the cutoff date for going should be December 15th.

From Nate:
There it is, First we need to see who can go and who can't the first or second week of August

Who is with us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

west coast?

From what I heard from my Dublin encounters the west coast is the place to be. I know some folks are interested in staying put and lording over the castle, but for those who want to explore, perhaps we need to take travelling distance into consideration. (Tipperary looks pretty central, which is what made me think of this...)

Also, Mom and I are in, and Dylan and Jenn are most likely out. So add 2 to the count, Nate.

Dates and Availability

Below is a recent email I recieved from my Irish contact. I think we need to figure out how many people and who are interested first, then we can work on dates, then we should be able to nail this puppy down. (The Tipperary house looks like it could be fun) Enjoy bloggers!!

I regret that the house in Clifden, County Galway, property G10, http://www.elegant.ie/g110.html is already fully booked for August 2009. It is available for the weeks of July 4, 11, 18 and 25. Would one of these weeks be possible for your family? The weekly price in July is euro 5700 plus heating and electricity.

The castle wing in County Fermanagh, property FH01 http://www.elegant.ie/fh01.html is currently available in August; the weekly rental is euro 5280 for the 7 bedrooms accommodating 14 guests. There are lovely cottages to accommodate additional guests over 14.

There is another large house in county Tipperary, a castellated manor house, which can accommodate up to 19 guests in 7 bedrooms, property T603. We haven’t mentioned it before because you enquired about the northwest, but that house has availability in August, weekly rental euro 3500 plus heating and electricity. Please see http://www.elegant.ie/t603.html in the castle and manor house section of www.elegant.ie

My first blog!

Hey everyone,
Jen and I are definitely in for Ireland '09..... we unfortunetely do have a schedule restriction though, Jen's work starts up in ~ mid August.

Ciao.

Should we find out which dates are available in August at the places we like and then narrow down from there?

Well done Nate!

So it looks like August is the month we are shooting for?

Mullaugh Familiy Reunion 2009 - Ireland

The Mullaugh's are officially blogging now. So instead of sending emails to all, we can post questions, ideas, concerns, etc.. on this new handy dandy website. It's pretty self explanatory on how to use this, if you have any questions shoot me an email and I can walk you through. Let's see if this bad boy works. Nate
