"May the roads rise to meet you."
As a gen-u-ine Irishman and speaker of Irish I must point out that the first line of that blessing is usually mis-translated from the Irish - Go n'eiri an mbothar leat. The verb eirigh (eiri) means both 'succeed' and 'rise' in Irish. The line really means "May you succeed on your road". Irish is tricky.
If anyone meets John (Rotten) Lydon soon please tell him this. He put this line in a song.
Ok ok, this information is not crucial to the success of Ms Lily's trip.
Ok I'm a geek.
