In many countries around the world, St Patrick's Day is celebrated on 17 March. It's a holiday in Ireland of course -- a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland and a bank holiday in Northern Ireland. And it's celebrated in quite a few countries, including the UK, Argentina, Australia, Canada and New Zealand.

The tradition for celebrating St Patrick's Day in the USA runs very deep. This excerpt from Wikipedia explains it:
"Irish Society of Boston organized what was the first Saint Patrick's Day Parade in the colonies on 17 March 1737. The first celebration of Saint Patrick's Day in New York City was held at the Crown and Thistle Tavern in 1766, the parades were held as political and social statements because the Irish immigrants were being treated unfairly and New York's first Saint Patrick's Day Parade was held on 17 March 1762 by Irish soldiers in the British Army."People don't just wear green clothing or drink green Guinness -- Chicago and Indianapolis dye their main waterways green, Savannah dyes their downtown city fountains green and Seattle paints the traffic stripe of their parade routes.
The longest running St. Patrick's Day parades are in the following cities:
- Boston, Massachusetts, since 1737

I have been General Manager of Motorhome Republic, the operators of this website, for 4 years and with the company for 6 years starting as a Sales / Account Manager. Previous roles have included account manager and software architect for a web design firm, advertising sales across multiple media and television production. I’ve been lucky enough to go Motorhoming several times in Canada, USA and New Zealand so far and grew up going on caravanning holidays with Mum and Dad. The value and freedom Motorhoming offers are its two main drawcards for me. That and the envy on the other campers’ faces when you pull into a State Park campground with no hook ups in a 31’ Class C with double slide outs, on board generator, side awning, exterior entertainment unit and smoker unit for a 10kg salmon caught earlier that day.
I have been in the Motorhome industry for the best part of 6 years and with Motorhomes Republic for the last 18 months. I previously worked for the largest Motorhome rental company in the world as the New Zealand Sales Account Manager. I’ve traveled the length and width of New Zealand in many different categories of Motorhomes, in fact I don’t think there is a main state highway I haven’t driven. The love I have for Motorhomes is one of freedom and flexibility, doing what I want when I want. If I have a hankering for a cup of coffee in a beautiful scenic spot simply stop boil and enjoy….
