WE ARRIVED AND BASHED DUBLIN

Arrived in Dublin today at 8:30a.m., Tuesday the 17th, straight from Atlanta on a very crowded but uneventful flight. Cabbed to the hotel, dropped bags, and hit the sightseeing on the hop on hop off bus.  Beautiful sunny day in mid 60s.


Saw Book of Kells at Trinity College, explored Christ Church and St. Patrick's then went to the Guinness brewery with the Gravity Bar.  The night finished with a carriage ride through the shopping and nightclub districts.


We have arranged for a driver tomorrow to take us to the area just south of Dublin.

For those of you considering a trip to Ireland I am posting details called Helpful Tips:


Helpful Tip:  Dublin Hotel - The Shelbourne, A Renaissance Hotel with the Marriott benefits and wonderful old charm completely redone.  Located across from St. Stephens Park and two blocks  from Grafton Street - shopping!!!!!
