Trip Outline : Ireland

Sunday, February 17, 2013

Over the past few days, we have gotten a lot done!  Our flights are booked, we have places to stay in three cities, and we already have quite the list of things we want to do!

We officially fly out on Tuesday, March 12th from Detroit, and will land in Dulbin early on the 13th.  We will be staying in Dublin until the 18th, and we are excited to be in Ireland for Saint Patrick's Day!  Finding a place to stay in the city during Saint Patrick's Day weekend for a reasonable price was impossible, so we opted to stay at a nicer place just outside the city.  The hotel has a bus that goes into town every 15 minutes, so we should have no problem getting back and fourth, and it should be a nice place to relax after walking around Dublin all day!

While in Dulbin, we plan to take a day trip up to Belfast to see the Giant's Causeway.  All of the pictures I have seen look amazing, and I am really looking forward to seeing it in person.


We made a short 'bucket list' of things to do while we are there, so hopefully we'll be able to fit it all in!

 
Dublin Bucket List 
1. celebrate St. Patrick’s Day
2. visit the Temple Bar area
3. raise a pint at the Guinness storehouse
4. tour The old Jameson distillery
5. see Trinity College
6. walking tour of the city
7. attend the ‘paint the city green’ event
8. eat a traditional Irish dish
9. learn a phrase popular in Ireland
10. day trip to the Giant’s Causeway

As the planning continues, we have realized we will have to cut Croatia off the end of our trip.  We were pretty disappointed, but it makes the most sense with our time, budget, and transportation restraints.  Everything else is looking pretty great!

We will keep you all updated with our plans! Only 22 days left to plan!

Love,

Laura and Bryan
