I am honored to even read this thread. The generosity of our inernational friends overwhelms me. Mowgli, you are a lucky soul, enjoy the trip.

To those who responded with gracious offers, let me extend a similar offer. I will gladly host you in Kentucky. We have a large Irish community associated with the horse industry. We have a great horse industry if you didn't know. Great bourbon. Friendly people, come on over.
