Woo-hoo! I'm so excited! My friend Shelly's friend is moving to Ireland for a year or something to work and I'm going with Shelly when she goes to visit her next month!
There's so much I have to do before then...someone on my dad's side of the family has started a family tree and discovered our REAL last name (before The Powers That Be changed it on Ellis Island for sounding "too Irish"), so I have to contact her to figure out where that half of my family comes from and drag her on a Donahue/O'something tour. She's Italian, so she can't reciprocate. This trip anyway.
I don't think she'll be shocked when I tell her we need to do the U2 Tour of Dublin, too.
Does anyone who's been there, or lives there, have any recommendations for someplace goo to go? Er'll be there for about a week, around the end of March and the beginning of April, so weather probably makes a difference.
