I'm starting my planning early. I'm going in January or February. I promised my boss I wouldn't leave until after christmas because that's the busy season at cmdstore.com (shameless advertizing
In case you're interested).
Anyway, I should be staying there anywhere between 2 weeks to a month.
I'm looking for people who'd like to show me around a little, a day or two. I should be travelling a lot over this period of time. I haven't been able to meet too many irish people on the net for some reason. Most likely the time difference is responsible for that. Anyway, if anyone knows of any sites where I can meet some people or some boards that would help, that would be appreciated.
Right now, my brother works for Vacances Air Transat, which is a pretty big travel company. He books cruises, but he's got travel agent training, and is slowly rising in the company. He can help me find good rates for almost any flight, so that's not really a concern. My concern is really where to visit, which areas are more/less interesting, where can I take good pictures, have a pint with some good people, and all-in-all have a jolly time.
Now I know winter isn't the best time to go there, but then again, I live in Quebec, so I KNOW winter isn't as bad over there as it is here. If I enjoy my stay, I'll probably be returning some time in the summer, after I've quit my job.
Also, if there are any irish folk who would like to help me out, show me around a little, perhaps give me a roof for a day or two, it would be much appreciated. Not that I won't be carrying money around. I can pay for my stay, it's not a problem. But I'd much rather stay with someone friendly than stay at a hotel.
This will be my first self-planned-and-self-paid trip, considering I'm 21 and I only started making my own money 2 1/2 years ago. And BTW I know this probably isn't the best place to look for help, but I gotta start somewhere.
If someone wants to reach me, PM should do, otherwise email @ crimson@ikillclowns.com
