Things to See and Do

[OnTheEdge]

So my dad found out I'm saving for a trip to Ireland. Actually, it's debatable whether this is for Ireland or just for following the next tour, but he's shocked that U2 is a reason to visit the isle. I want to present a list.

Give me plenty of U2 items to put on it... Make some up, I don't care.

You could tell him that you are looking for a leprechan, you need the pot o' gold.

LOL

 

[She wanted the highway]

Finding BONO in Ireland would be better than finding a pot of gold. He must be the prize at the end of the rainbow for fans who go there looking.

If I were to go to Ireland on a U2 trip I would be visiting the following:

-The Clarence
-The Kitchen
-The Gates in front of Bonos
-BONOVOX the hearing aid store
-Mount Temple High
-Edge's house
-Larry's two houses
-Adams castle
-Bono's childhood home
-The Studio
-That rock that you can kiss (Bono has kissed it, and that is the closest I will ever get*LOL*)
-Bono's bro's resteraunt

have a great time

I can't remember, but I believe Rotunda Hospital (the hospital Bono was born in) is in Dublin, as well.

"You must not look down on someone just 'cos they are 14 years old. When I was that age I listened to the music of John Lennon and it changed my way of seeing things, so I'm just glad that 14 year olds are coming to see U2 rather than group X." - Bono, 1988

Here is a link to @U2's guide to Dublin. It has lots of stuff that you must see when there... and it's all on a map too!

I see your face
I see you staring back at me

Dood. I remember this from when I first became a fan, but I had forgotten.

Thank's everyone!

Heeee heee, it gives you the gift of gab....which I think we can all agree Bono has.

I told my dad I had a list... he wasn't enthusiastic... hmm
I was watching Ireland Rocks tonight and my mom walked into the room and said that if a plane was filled with U2 fans and then we all booked a place full, it would be cheaper. I had no clue she was putting such thought into an Irish trip. She said I should post "you know... online..." to find a U2 travel agent!

I found the whole thing quite funny... I guess I can give myself some credit with this converting thing.
