Last summer I am walking through a store with my husband. We receive a phone call from his sister. She calls to tell us it is three a.m. in Dublin, she just landed, and she is in a pub. I look at my husband and tell him pointe blank, "THATS IT! We are going to Europe." Well needless to say that is quite the expensive trip....or so you would think. Somehow we find airfare and a hotel for 600 bucks a person. Too good to be true? I think not. Thanks to Priceline (which I swear by) that is all it costs us to travel across the United States and Atlantic Ocean. We land ourselves at the most amazing hotel in the heart of Dublin. We are walking distance from everything, the service is great, and if you can believe it or not....we have a view from our room. Dublin is a fantastic city. The people are beautiful inside and out. Every corner there is something to see. Everyone who has been to Ireland or the United Kingdom has warned me about the food. Well I am here to tell you as long as you stick to the pubs you will be golden. Don't get me wrong, you may gain a few pounds. However, it is all worth it. The main sites to see in Dublin are the Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin Castle, St. Patricks Church, St. Stephen's Green, Grafton Street, O'Connell Street, Temple Bar off Temple Lane, Trinity College, Guinness Storehouse, and Jameson Distillery. There obviously is much more to be seen than this, but this certainly will get you started. If you make it to the Guinness Storehouse....whether you drink Guinness or not you must go to the very top to see an unbelievable view of the entire city. Now if you happen to venture to this magnificent Island, you must see it all. Because believe me, every city in Ireland has it's own flare.
