How did we get here?

Early on in our relationship (just about 10 years ago) Michael wanted to go to Ireland, I being 19 at the time had no desire.  Why would I want to go to a cold, wet country when there were so many warm beaches calling my name?  Michael's travel angel appeared with a newspaper clipping for a package deal to Ireland and suddenly we were booked for a December vacation.  It was amazing!  We spent 2 weeks driving the southern half, staying in B&Bs, stopping whenever we wanted and loving almost (a baggage issue caused a bit of crazy start to first travel abroad)  every minute of the lusciously green country.  Since then we've tried to get out as much as we can. We squeezed in a few cruises to the Caribbean and Central America in college and then progressed from there.  Thinking about it most of our trip locations were decided after taking recommendations from friends.
