Welcome home!  Wow, that's a lot of travel.  Sure glad you did it safely.  What's next?
Gary, will spend the winter in VA/NC lots of overdue house work to be done. Pulling the top end of my Bronco engine apart as well. Then off to Newfoundland next May/June for the summer. Some short motorcycle trips maybe to the Carolina beaches and Appalachian Mountains this fall. In the spring there is a tentative motorcycle trip to Laconia NH.

Sounds like a plan.  What's up w/the Bronco?

Not sure, but thinking it is a head gasket issue between 2 cylnders.
Going to pull the heads, re-work them while they are off.

Aye!  I'll agree it is a long, long way from Clare to here.  I know, 'cause we've spent a couple of days in County Clare.  We stayed in Dromoland castle, which may show on that map near Latoon.  Thanks for the memories!

Vinny, you must be retired, that's the only way you could have that kind of time.

Sixmilebridge and Ennis are both just a few miles from Dromoland.  Not sure we saw either, but I see them on the map.

'Tis a small, small world.
