Guinness Storehouse Dublin

Averaging 20 pints of Guiness per day, waking up having shots of sambucca, opening the 'Temple Bar' at 9:30am becuase they weren't open yet, missing out flight back home, spending 1000 pounds in 3 days...these are just a few memories of possibly the best time of my life! Daniel Marshall, Mark Dempster, Mitch Scully and myself, who none of us knew …

On our second day of our escourted tour we arrived in Dublin early. We collected our bags and met the other passangers on our trip in the airport. We were sent by bus from the airport to our hotel which was located in the Ballsbridge section of the city.

From the outside the hotel didn't look too bad. We were told that the Jury's …

Today we woke up late again. We still haven't gotten the free breakfast at the hotel!

We went on the Guinness Brewery tour which takes a while since its 6 floors of info. Will sent Dan an email of a picture of him at the Brewery. We played the alcohol trivia game and had a free pint of Guinness in the Gravity Bar. By this point my stomach …

Day 9, our final day in Ireland started early because we had to pack our bags and the car for the trip home.

I was having such a great time in Ireland and really wasn’t ready for all the fun to end. We decided to close out Ireland by going on the Guinness Storehouse tour. It was only 3 doors down from our hostel.

On the way …

Its been awhile since I have gotten on here, but I have been exploring this beautiful country and have been quite busy!

On Thursday, I got to go explore Trinity College, Guinness Brewery, Old Jameson Distillery, and Phoenix Park. Guinness was cool, I loved the huge pint glass that is built within the factory, and I found it very …

The two destinations we recommend in our "Footloose in Ireland film" are poles apart, but the one common thread is the warmth of the people and not the weather!

Part two ~ Discovering Dublin
Our suggested Dublin trail starts at Heuston Station and roughly follows the banks of the river Liffey, passing by many of the main sights. Most …

On the 3rd Shawn and I headed from Rome to Dublin. After we found our hotel room and cleaned up we quickly found a pub for dinner because it was raining. Since it was still a little early, we headed back to our hotel room before going out for the night. We decided to take a nap at from 6-7. At 7, Shawn told me to set another alarm for 7:30. I told …

I woke up just after 4AM, and thought I wasn't going to get back to sleep, but I laid there for a few minutes, and the next thing I knew, it was 10:30. We checked out of our rooms, since checkout time was noon. We met the girls downstairs around 11:30, and left our luggage with the concierge. We asked about a place to get breakfast that late on a …

First, along with my vacation story, I've included little tidbits of info about the attractions we've visited. Some of the info I learned from our trip, most I got from Wikipedia. If you wish to learn more, head on over and READ.

We arrived in Dublin early in the morning and after getting our car, taking the M50 around Dublin and driving …

Week 4:

Monday: Today we went to the gym because for some reason walking at least 3 miles to class everyday just isn't enough for my poor feet. I also got a package from my wonderful family who actually love me! I appreciate the family sized pack of Oreos that was sent. If I try really hard they will be able to last the whole month. I then …
