Default Hen Weekend here I come!

Well this is it now until Monday .. I'm off to Dublin first thing tomorrow morning for my hen

If I make it back alive, I'll give you a full report next week. Will be taking pic's but not sure if I'll be able to post them. Need to hunt down a scanner at work first as my pc at home doesn't like connecting to the net at the moment (got to get it fixed).


Pint of Guiness anyone?

Have a great time!!! Say hi to mother Ireland for me!!!!
A word of warning though - watch out for the Irish men...to say they are charming is an understatement when they have a goodlooking women in their sights!!!

Don't forget to have Tatoes (chrisp!!) when you are there!!!!!

And!!! seriously, try to avoid O'Connell Street late at night...not the safest of places to be!

Have a really really great time girl!!!!

Love
Jac

Thanks Jac, I'll watch out and forget O'Connell Street at night.

I'd forgotten all about Tatoes, I've heard so much about them I've got to give then a go!

Oh yes, all those fab Irish men.....that's why I married an Australian!!!!!!!


(That & the fact they obviously don't know a good thing when they see it - according to David anyway... )

Have a wunderbar time - go shopping mad in Grafton Street! My usual trick when I used to go to Dublin for the day was:

1)Walk STRAIGHT to Stephens Green Shopping Centre from Conolly Station, stopping only to lift some money out of the hole in the wall.

2)Go to Cafe Kylemore & order very large Irish Breakfast (after being on a train from 7am you need one!)

3)Walk round lots of shops but don't buy anything. Get peckish & go for a coffee in Bewleys on Grafton Street. Maybe go up to the GPO on O'Connell st to see if you can still see the shell marks from 1916. Try to have another peek at the Floozie in the Jacuzzi and the Tart with the Cart.

4) Go for a wander round Templebar and into the National Museum to ohh & ahh at the ancient celtic jewellery. It's free (I think) and therefore much cheaper than going to see the Book of Kells at Trinity College.

5)Feel tired & it's raining anyway, so go for another coffee.

6) it's close enough to tea time, and we have to be back at the station at 6:30, so go to the Bad Ass Cafe in Templebar (where Sinead O'Connor used to work) and eat a huge burger & chips, with possibly a milkshake.

7)Run back to the station feeling full & sick, just making it in time for the train.

8)Sit on the train back to Belfast & realise you've just spent money on food all day & nothing else. But the craic was good!

go into Brown Thomas on Grafton St....too great for those who like to shop!!! Might as well take advantage of the bit of an exchange rate there is...before it too late (like it will probably by the time it comes to paying for our reception...make mental note to buy loads of Euro sooner rather than later!).
