We enjoyed our stay at Staunton's on the Green which was on the southern edge of St Stephen's Green. The room was small but cosy with large, sloping windows that carried your eyes outwards and upwards to the leafless branches of the trees and the overcast sky.
It was a great spot to access interesting parts of Dublin.
After spending our …

Well what a week we have had in Ireland! I won't lie to you - it hasn't all been great - SOMEONE got herself a cold in Dublin. Yes, my generally **** immune system which had been going great guns for 7 months without a sick day (some sort of record, for me) took one whiff of the Guinness air and decided to catch a cold. Quite annoying but a pretty …

It has been a while s I have quite a bit to catch up on! Dublin for St. Paddy's Day Paddy's Day weekend was a long weekend for us as the Monday following Paddys Day was observed as a holiday. Saturday morning I headed to Dublin with John for the festivities. My friend Renee, who I know from Abbott, was coming in for the weekend and so the three of …

My first "kind of" rested day started in the mid-late morning as I awoke as a result of the multitude of people moving around and the smorgasbord of odors. The day was amazingly sunny; a stark juxtaposition to the previous day's sideways rain.

I thought that it would be prudent to get some food to start off the day, so I walked across …

The day started off in Dublin with the plan to meet with some justices from the Criminal Court of Justice. We were to tour the building as well, along with the chance to set in on some proceedings. We were told to meet at the Four Courts, which seems to be some equivalent of an Irish Supreme Court. The professors met us in order to ensure that we …

We arrived in Dublin this morning just before 8am. We were cold waiting in the windy mid-40 degree weather for our hotel shuttle bus but it felt nice to get some fresh air after that stuffy plane for nearly 9 hours. We arrived and the front desk attendant said she had good news: our room for tonight was ready.... and she had bad news: the hotel is …

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 …

Okay - so I lied. There's still more to post about Dublin.

My friends Guilia and Kim left this morning, as the Congress is over, but my Dad swung by the hostel and we've been hittin' up the city as bona fide tourists. *Insert general gurgling noises of disgust*

However, t'was quite fun. We had booked a tour of the countryside to …

We drive to Omaha and arrive at airport early. Park in long term parking and hop the bus and arrive at the airport, OMA. We walk in and there is a line at the United counter about 70 people long. It was moving quickly so …

Up until 3 days ago, the past week and a half its been beautiful weather, just what I needed. I visited the Grand Canal right behind my school 4 days in a row, went on a few jogs and finished the Hunger Games Trilogy that started on its way to Spain. Shannon and I went and saw the movie and was slightly dissapointed but overall it was pretty good. …
