In this episode, Stephanie and Kaitlyn talk about the upcoming trip to Ireland on August 22, 2023.  They discuss the trip, the events, plans during the trip and how much they are looking forward to seeing  Ireland. Their conversation also leads to some hilarious moments as they joke about doing an Irish version of a scene from the Sound of Music in a white dress running through an open field, a fear of getting bit by sheep, a debate about hugging the Raven KASTER miniboat, and possibly recording their trip reflections at the end of the day in house robes at the hotel while sipping tea. This episode was recorded on August 14, 2023.--------------------------------------------------------------------------The Raven KASTER Miniboat Project (YouTube Video) Raven KASTER Web Page (on Educational Passages)Raven KASTER PodKast (our podcast) @ravenkaster on TwitterRaven KASTER FaceBookRaven KASTER InstagramTo contact the Raven KASTER Miniboat Relaunch Project in Ireland, please email us at: ravenkaster@gmail.comPlease consider donating to the project: Stephanie and Kaitlyn's GoFundMe Page (https://gofund.me/1c8d6303) e-transfer using ravenkaster@gmail.com
