Great Southern Hotel Dublin Airport

... so I was wondering what was going on! I've seen realized that craic means fun, so there you go...it's been good craic in Southern Ireland! Following my worst shower yet, I checked into my tour in the hostel lobby on Friday morning. This group was much ...

... to the docks in Melbourne before going to the airport.     1000kms ticked over and that was the end of our trip around Southern Ireland. Defiantly recommended!!              ...

... at a bad exchange rate and paying commission too!  So, which story to tell, which to tell...  O.k., I'm at the airport in Narita (Japan, near Tokyo) and I'm trying to do some last minute shopping because I'd totally promised a few people that I ...

... walk in. Coincidentally, the music stopped as well, making it just a bit more awkward. I didn't care as I wasn't in a great mood, having missed my ferry and hotel. Of all the places to be stranded. So I said to the publican, "is this when the piano player ...

... come in one last time to clean things out for the summer.  And on Monday I grab my train for the airport.  I have a late night flight over to Dublin where I am to meet my mom and a couple of her college buddies for a week.  They are doing ...

... just over the border into Germany we began to see cows.  Now we have passed Dresden and the views are again similar to Southern Ontario.  We do get a chuckle at every exit sign though, which in German is Ausfhart.  Simple pleasures... Just ...

... people. After here it was time to head back to Dublin for our flight back to England. We picked our hire car up at Liverpool airport and drove straight up to the lakes district and what a fantastic place this is. If anyone comes to the UK we would say ...

... fun night in Poland / Mainland Europe. Tomorrow night I'm sleeping in some crappy hotel in Poznan, Poland, near the airport so I can catch my flight to Dublin in the morning, where I will spend two more nights in Europe and then head home. I figure ...

... a cold beer.  The heat really hits you as you step off the plane.  33 degrees most days.  Maureen and I shared tandoori chicken wings and a veg curry with garlic nan.  My first Southern Indian meal was very tasty and very ...

... it was a bit nerve-wracking having to collect the ring from a total stranger in the shadowy corner of a car park at Dublin Airport three weeks later. We were just waiting for the Gardai to nab us for diamond smuggling. Thanks for all your fantastic work ...

... , we were cleared for take off and taxied out on the runway. My last glimpse of Ireland was the rain-sodden fields of Dublin airport shortly after takeoff. I caught only a glimpse because within 30 seconds of takeoff we were in the clouds. Leaving the ...

... up to me and offered me a ride I should refuse because it was illegal for taxi drivers to solicit riders.  In the Dublin airport they have an announcement every 15 minutes or so that you should not leave your baggage unaccompanied or it would be ...

... apparently hot babe, Jaunita. To me Peru was particularly short of women that would even fit into the 'Duck' category of the Dublin Airport babe guide, so I was looking forward to meeting Juanita but was slightly let down when she turned out to be a ...

Monday 6th December - New Orleans - Clarksdale, Mississippi (350 miles) We caught a taxi from our hotel to the airport to pick up our car - we were glad of the early morning air-con in the taxi as it was 98% humidity and nearly 80 degrees. We got ...
