If anyone is watching my Twitter logs, they might notice a bunch of posts by me today. I backdated the posts to the day I actually wrote in my travel log, 2 years ago, before I started blogging. I came across the travel log today and thought, since I had a bit of free time, [...]

Reporting live from a sleepy Sunday morning in Paris… where the clubs are still open and to most people walking the streets, it’s still Saturday night.
I’m happy to report that my head no longer hurts from Friday night – I needed to stay in my room last night and sleep to make sure.
I took a [...]

So I went to see Lady Windermere’s Fan at the Gate Theater on Monday night, which was a great show. I sat next to 2 nice old ladies from Glasgow who asked me about my travels, and I told them about my plans to be in London for 2 weeks. They wanted to know what [...]

And then went to Croke Park to see Gaelic football. It was awesome, Croke Park Stadium is enormous, and was packed to near capacity (65k+ seats filled) to watch The Big Game ™, Dublin vs. Meath. I won’t give you the play by play, I’ll leave that to the experts.
I will, however, give you color [...]

Today was less busy than most days… I scored a theater ticket for Monday night for the show Lady Windermere’s Fan, an Oscar Wilde comedy. The show was sold out today through the weekend, but I was luckily able to get the seat for Monday. Will give a [...]

So today was packed again. I got a ticket to this weekend’s Gaelic football matches at Croke Park in Dublin, and extended my stay in Dublin until Tuesday, since Monday 6/7 is apparently a “bank holiday” and most things will be closed on Monday.
So I’ll be going to Cork next Tuesday instead of tomorrow.
I visited [...]

So this was my first day being awake all day in Dublin. I had the “traditional Irish breakfast”, a fried egg, 2 pieces of bacon, and 2 sausages. Healthy healthy… its a wonder more people don’t seize up and have a heart attack at breakfast.
I saw Trinity College, and the Book of Kells, [...]

So I got into Dublin OK. The flight was fine, although Aer Lingus has taken notes from the American Airlines school of thought on flight, “pack them in like sardines”.
The public transportation into Dublin is awesome, I paid 5€ for a direct ride into the center city.
I am staying at a decent place in the [...]
