Ireland & England

Last year, a good friend asked if I would plan a trip to Ireland for her. As my luck had it, I found great airfare and decided to go along with her for a 13-day trip to Ireland and London, England. Luckily, she didn't mind and we travelled this past March.

Our trip started out with a great flight on Aer Lingus to Dublin. There we had to connect to our flight to London as the London add-on was an afterthought after we had our air fare purchased. We decided that if we were flying "across the pond", we really should spend at least a few days in London.

I did manage to blog for the first few days of the trip. See the blog here. After that, we were just too busy seeing the sights and enjoying the trip.
