The best laid plans of mice and men...

Ok! Today I'll break down my plans for you...

At 6:30 pm on April 10th (after working) I will leave Syracuse, with an hour layover in Philadelphia, and arrive in Dublin at 9:00am April 11th. (They are 5 hours ahead, by the way.)

At the airport I will pick up my rental car and drive about 2 hours to County Longford. The hotel is not set in stone there as of yet. Expedia didn't have anything in the area so I'm on my own for finding one. But, assuming they accept Mastercard, one will be booked tomorrow (crossing fingers), in the city of Ballymahon.

I will spend Aprill 11th through the 14th in Longford exporling. (No particular plans yet.) Then I will return to Dublin.

Check in time at Ardmore Hotel in Dublin is 2pm. I'll have the rest of the 14th to explore the city, and I will have a free day to do _____ (?) on the 16th.

As for the 15th I will be taking a day trip to County Clare, and the 17th I will be taking a day trip to Cork. I'll blog about all this stuff in detail later.

At 11:15am I will leave Dublin. There are 2 layovers on the way home: Philiadelpia and NYC. I will arrive back in Syracuse at 7:14pm.

So, to tally that up:
1) round trip flight
2) rental car for 8 days
3) 5 nights at Ardmore Hotel
4) day trip to County Clare
5) day trip to Cork
........ all for the low low price of $1,690 and some change.
(Of course the Longford hotel will hotel still needs to be added in there once it's booked.)

I guess that about sums it up for now!
