Weekend in Dublin: Arrival

Say what you want about Ryanair, but when the hubby comes home and says he heard we could get to Dublin and back for about $25, I get on the internet. And it was true! Of course, it ended up being closer to $80 for the two of us because we wanted to check a bag, but hey, that's still a pretty awesome deal. Top it off with using some credit card points for the hotel and there is just no good reason not to pack up and head to Dublin for the weekend.

We left Friday after work and getting there was so simple. Ryanair is bare bones, but they've got their processes down to a science so it was easy loading, on time departure and smooth sailing. A good airport express bus took us to within a block of our hotel and we were soon ready for some dinner.

We found a cute little bistro just down the street from our hotel and ended up with a true Irish experience.

  • Guinness & Smithwicks to drink
  • Guinness beef stew - yummy comfort food at it's best
  • Guinness chocolate mousse for dessert - so good!
Not a bad way to start off our adventure.



Hmmm, thought I had a photo of that mousse as well . . . must have gobbled it down too fast!
