... had to rebook our ferry for 2:40 in the afternoon and planned our travels for the next morning. The next morning we woke up bright and early so we could catch our train to Glasgow to catch our bus to Stranraer. We got to Glasgow without any issues and had about an hour to kill before the bus left. I was wandering around the terminal and saw that you could purchase tickets ahead of time (up until this point we had been just buying tickets from the bus ...

... policem*n (no doubt, still is c*lled Br*****n's!) *nd w*s north of the Liffey (off Henry Street ne*r to the Millenium Spire). They led the entire horde of folks (tourists from the St*tes, C*n*d*, Norw*y, South Kore*, to n*me just * few) over the bridge *nd *long. They expl*ined th*t those two pubs were both 'loc*l' pubs (me*ning th*t they h*d not been decor*ted to look like the public's vision of *n Irish pub but inste*d h*d been m*int*ined *s they h*d *lw*ys been (essenti*lly home ...

... aren't really celebrated. But the Irish sense of humour is legendary, and no-where was it more apparent than with their statues. Every one has an irreverent nickname, with witty and often rude plays on words, and there are a lot of them, all over the city. They laugh at themselves, and will poke fun at the visitor, but it never seems malicious. I was truly impressed with the relaxed attitude towards the English ...

... a 3 day tour beginning in Cork. Once we arrived in Cork we got on the bus and headed out to Blarney. Arriving at Blarney we had a tour of the castle and got to kiss the Blarney stone. I would have to say that it was a prime example of capitalism as it was a streamlined process that lasted no more than 30 seconds. It was one of those things though that if you are in Ireland you feel ...

... family for 2weeks. They even had a going away party for me. Trekking in Nepal plus ...

... NOT GOOD. I sprung out of bed ran down stairs, checked out and head for the tube, I knew I was going be late but thought I would risk the trip anyways. Got on the Train, got to the Airport and then realized that my flight was 12:00pm not 11:00 am and I had plenty of time. Little Heart attack but survived it. Landed inDublin about 2:00pm due to the fact the airplane was 40 minutes late on take off. I really had plenty of time. Found my hostel and checked it. I then took the ...

... in what seemed like a 30 minute line, but thought it was ok....we had a tv behind us showing the Ireland/England rugby match from the 8 Nations Tournament on. So when you get up the the front of the line, they take you in a group of 4 at a time. Mandy and I got up there right when the people were changing shifts so the guy who was telling us all about how to pull our pint assumed that the lady that had just left had taken our tickets. WRONG! So we go through the whole ...

fewf its 3:37 on a Dublin afternoon and we are here! i am not even going to go into the horrible flight details, the smell of corn on the plane or the surprise landing and three hour delay...all you need to know is that we made it. we found our hostel and i am sitting here in it right now. kiki and i both have had our meltdown moments already- i didnt get enough sleep and kiki was like a rat in a cage on the plane, she is also prone to motion sickness ...

It was a long drive from the Cliffs of Moher to Dublin but the car drove well and held its own. Arrive into at 7.30pm and check into Abraham Hostel in downtown Dublin. Then went out for some dinner and a look around Dublin at Night before returning back to the hostel at 11pm.

... holiday weekend. As we entered the marina we found it was about the size of a gentelman's wardrobe and contained about 30 boats. We berthed up quickly and proceeded to watch the fun as peoplke left and entered. One guy ricocheted off of 3 other boats as a gust of wind came in. One guy in a small wooden boat came in single handed, moored up immaculately. He said the boat was about 35' long with the bowsptrit but ...
