Visiting Ireland?

[Faeelin]

So, some friends and I are debating going to Ireland for Spring Break. (Woo, wet wool sweater contests!)

However, I'm not sure I'd enjoy the country; I always enjoy visiting Scotland, but I have family there and find British history much more fascinating than Ireland's "we suck forever". And Ireland has fewer people than the New York metropolitan area, so I don't really know how much there is to do...

Advice?

Do something more interesting, like hiking the Inca Trail, going horseback riding in Mongolia, take the midnight express into Istanbul, etc.

My advice is to go to Dakar and see that monument.

My sister and her friend spent a trip in the UK once; 5 days in Ireland, and 2 days in London.
She wished it had been the other way around.

Start in Cape Town and bike or hitchhike to Kamchatka.

Melancholy drunks and overcast.  I can think of better ways to spend a spring break.

Yeah, 2 days isn't nearly enough for London. However, it may be all you can afford.

Nothing wrong with Ireland but it's probably the wrong place for a shortish break. London would be a much better place to spend your spring break.

It also depends if you're planning to hit Dublin or some god forsaken town in the middle of County Sligo.

It's also got hugely expensive since it went over to the Euro, so your cash wouldn't go much further than in London.

Stay home and do your papers/reading.

It depends on what your interests are as to whether it's worth visiting but if you seriously think that's all there is to Irish history, I don't think you should come here, we don't need any more ignorant idiots.

Its a jolly nice country.
Just...not all that much to see.

[Caliga]

I think I'd like to go to Ireland on vacation.  I like taters, I like Guinness, and I like fisticuffs.

True.  Ignorant idiots to Ireland is like coals to Newcastle.
