If you are roaming through the woods and hear a terrible howl, make sure you're wearing your chain-link scarf.
I guess I'm bring the iPad just for that.The movie options on international flights are pretty good these days. Definitely bring good earbuds/headphones. IPad is good as on one flight I had everything was cast to your device (instead of a screen in the seat). I wouldn't sweat this too much. I'd worry more about trying to grab a little sleep as the best way to conquer jet lag is to not take a nap/sleep when you arrive - much better off powering through until night. Hopefully when you wake up the next day you're good to go.

Or the Rok of Cashel - someone's drawn dix all over itDon’t kiss the Blarney Stone. The locals pee on it at night.
They call them “Willy’s” there.Or the Rok of Cashel - someone's drawn dix all over it
Our flight lands at 7am local time. I plan on taking some Tylenol PM and a shot or two before the leg from NJ to Dublin.I guess I'm bring the iPad just for that.
Good call on powering through till night. I've only been to the Caribbean when leaving the country so no jet lag whatsoever. This will be new to me.
Only if youre a D.D.SOh and don’t do what I did on my first trip to Europe. That thing in the bathroom that shoots water up? That’s not a drinking fountain.
Huh - no wonder I was terrified.Pretty sure they go clockwise
I have always found that the way out is pretty easy. Try to sleep a bit on the plane, but no matter what don't fall asleep during the day when you get there. Stay up until you'll sleep through the night. I've always felt fine the next day (the way back tends to be harder for me).Good call on powering through till night.

Mine lands at 7 local time too. I'm guessing I need to pick up one of those neck pillows.Kanil said:Our flight lands at 7am local time. I plan on taking some Tylenol PM and a shot or two before the leg from NJ to Dublin.
I'll try to leave some beer in Dublin for you.

NTTAWWT !Basically, my feed will be all meat all the time, while my Stories will be filled with the behind the scenes stuff that is not meat related.
No offense but between the ads/sponsored posts, the "let me run your Instagram" and the Paleo bots following and spamming me, I didn't make it through the day as a follower.Go check the feed. You'll get it then.
He's not factoring in the jet lag. It sounds like he doesn't travel a lot so this is going to throw him for a loop the first day he gets there. Flying West to East is always the worst.even if you can sleep on planes, crash as soon as you can Day 1 and dont do anything of consequence unless you want Days 2 & 3 to be entirely blown
OK, I'm confused here. @Sand said the exact oppositeeven if you can sleep on planes, crash as soon as you can Day 1 and dont do anything of consequence unless you want Days 2 & 3 to be entirely blown

There wasn't a single post that wasn't just a blatant advertisement.
I followed as well and got about 10 like notifications from some paleo bot too.No offense but between the ads/sponsored posts, the "let me run your Instagram" and the Paleo bots following and spamming me, I didn't make it through the day as a follower.

And if you do visit, DO NOT KISS IT. Locals piss on it ... you've been warned.I'd skip the Blarney Stone unless you just want to say you did it.

Landed this morning. My advice:Mine lands at 7 local time too. I'm guessing I need to pick up one of those neck pillows.
And thanks for leaving me some!
Then again, I'm going to the Guinness plant. I'm guessing they can make more.
Pubs are also awesomely fun if there is a GAA hurling or Gaelic football match going. I remember the pubs being pretty intense for Gaelic football, but that was in September closer to the Championship.Landed this morning. My advice:
Get a window seat if you can. We were in the middle aisle and sleep was near impossible (2 tylenol PM and I slept a couple hours) .
I ended up taking a 45 minute nap and am going to power through bar closing.
You've got to go watch a world cup game while you're here. Pick just about any pub and watch. I'm not a soccer fan but this is so much fun.
I flew into Shannon on the morning Roy Keane was kicked off the national team just before the SKorea World Cup in '02, the last time they were in it, by-the-by. In the Daily Mail, the first 18 pages were about Keane, coach McCarthy & the Saipan Incident. Twas a great pleasure getting up @ 5am to file to the pub in Killadoon with 100 other sleepy souls to watch the matches broadcast @ dawn (or "don" as they call it there) from Korea and to be passed out from drink by 10AM, but we made it thru Group, only to lose on kicks to Spain in the first KO round. But what a time! Just mention "Saipan" at your pub this wk and let the craic roll.You've got to go watch a world cup game while you're here. Pick just about any pub and watch.

I'm usually an aisle seat guy. I just want to read my book and have easy access to the john if I need it. But that's domestic flying and no real need to sleep. I didn't book this flight so I'm guessing I'm ponying up the extra fee to change seats if I don;t have a window seat already.Landed this morning. My advice:

Balfe Street.Where is the hotel? Maybe something close by easier to fit the free time window?
C is always aisle. Near corridor on the right side as you enter the plane (unless you enter behind your seat in which case it is stille near corridor, but left.) The flight crew will tell you in the door if you show the least bit of hesitationI'm usually an aisle seat guy. I just want to read my book and have easy access to the john if I need it.

ETA: No seat assignment on my itinerary for the flight to Dublin. Says Checkin to get seat. On the way back it's 20C. Pretty sure that's a window seat.
I thought A was always aisle? I'm confused. I don't travel nearly as often as I used to.C is always aisle.
No seat assignment on the way out has the potential to be very bad news (as in, sorry, you get to stay behind or go to Dublin on a less direct flight which will screw up all your arrangements)
A is always window, B middle seat (if there), C aisle even if there is no middle seat (which there will be on a transatlantic flight. Also, see my edit of the post you quotedI thought A was always aisle? I'm confused. I don't travel nearly as often as I used to.
Looking at it on a map, you are at least within walking distance of some good spots -- Trinity College/Book of Kells, St. Stephens Green, St. Patrick's Cathedral. So, it should be easy to get around.Balfe Street.
Knowing how this weekend will likely go, I hope I don't Balfe
I'm pretty much aiming for a window seat. Any window seat. Just to be able to lean over and snooze. If not, I'm likely going the nap first route.A is always window, B middle seat (if there), C aisle even if there is no middle seat (which there will be on a transatlantic flight.

Any fine drinking establishments within stumbling distance of my hotel?Looking at it on a map, you are at least within walking distance of some good spots -- Trinity College/Book of Kells, St. Stephens Green, St. Patrick's Cathedral. So, it should be easy to get around.
Within stumbling distance of the Temple Bar and Temple Bar district. O'Donoghue's isn't far either, over by Merrion Square -- that's a pretty famous one.Any fine drinking establishments within stumbling distance of my hotel?
And what about Dublin Castle? That looks close enough to walk to and could get me my castle fix.
Temple Bar looks like a bit of a hike on foot. Can I get an uber over there?Within stumbling distance of the Temple Bar and Temple Bar district. O'Donoghue's isn't far either, over by Merrion Square -- that's a pretty famous one.
I only got to see Dublin Castle from the bus. Looks cool, but not sure what is to see there.
Are you familiar with the concept of taxis?Temple Bar looks like a bit of a hike on foot. Can I get an uber over there?
Downtown Dublin isn't that big. How long of a walk is it?Temple Bar looks like a bit of a hike on foot. Can I get an uber over there?
Yeah, I don't think it is that far. He said he is pretty close to Dublin Castle, and the Temple Bar district is basically across the street from there.Downtown Dublin isn't that big. How long of a walk is it?
I'm feeling pretty confident that you'll find drinking close by your hotel. I don't even think you'll need a name of a bar, just walk and you'll find something up your alley.
Got one sitting new in the box next to my suitcase. Thanks GBAnd if you didn't already know, you will need a voltage converter power adapter so you can safely plug your stuff up.
