Just 2 days away! We (my daughter, her bf, his parents, and I) fly out of Detroit tomorrow morning, land in Boston an hour and a half later, then a 10 hour lay-over.....but just 6 hours after that we will be standing on the Emerald Isle. I cannot believe I am actually going. It has been on my bucket list my entire adult life, but I could never afford it. I still can't but my daughter and her bf are treating us parents with the airfare and hotels.
I am so excited. I have 2 64gb cards and am taking the laptop so I can download each night.
Hoping when I return I have the job I interviewed for.
Just had to share. Carry on now. |

| Ireland is so beautiful, I hope you'll have a great time there. Enjoy the magnificent scenery, enjoy the Guinnes and enjoy Dublin, it's a great place to go to! |

For Belfast you may want to consider the Titanic exhibition or a tour of the murals. Shame you won't have time for Giants Causeway and Antrim coast. You must go and have a Guinness in the Crown Liquor Salon. In Belfast.

I'm from Cork! :-)
If you get the chance you should try to visit Kerry (it's right next to Cork and Clare). Very beautiful county.

Kinsale is a beautiful old fashioned fishing village not that far from Cork - you may want to think of it on a shortlist for a day trip.
I took my now wife there to pop the question... |

| When in Dublin be sure to block out some time for a visit to Trinity College to see the book of Kells and the old library |

Have fun. Your time schedule looks too tight to visit the beautiful Skellig Islands,
but Ireland is a beautiful country!

Almost forgot. Nice cocktails at the Old Jameson Distillery. You don't have to do the tour for this :)

I agree, but it's a nice excuse for ladies who don't want to drink whiskey as it should be :) |

Instead of Cork, go a little northwest to Dingle. That was our favorite place in Ireland. |

The crown liquor saloon in Belfast is a must. Like Paul said, the murals in East Belfast are something to see. |

We will be stopping there as The Towers are there I believe. Funny about the popping the question there - Ryan is pooping the question to my daughter in Belfast
