  1. 1 Yes it does rain quite a lot in April,though not as much as in november - march.

    2  Once you arent visiting June to August theres usually very few places heavily booked.

    3  I&#039;d go with the Skelligs  and the Blaskets in Kerry and the Aran Islands in Galway

    4  I&#039;d google Irish Spa&#039;s for that one

    5 Theres lots of good restuarants in the Temple Bar area of Dublin but there are some really good ones out around Howth and some of the fancier areas of the city.

    6 Yes we do in general,just not Mr Bush and his Cronies,Most Irish have family connections to America anyhow.

    7 I would look up any tour of the Burren in Co.Clare.Its a totally different landscape from anything you will have seen before.I&#039;d also say try and see Bru na Boinne,and some of the castles of Munster.

    8 personally I&#039;d try and avoid Bus rides Theres a train from Dublin to Cork that has a connection to Killarney,much more comfortable and faster.I think you change at Mallow or Limerick junction.

    9 Not at all.I just happen to be about to do similar trips with an American friend so it makes sense to me.

    10 Depends on what you mean by cute.Theres a batchelor festival in Ballybunion each year but mostly try any traditional Irish pub rather than the modern young peoples pubs.


  2. Try Englang instead love, I  think you&#039;ll find all you need there. Paddy.

  3. 1) yes and no. ireland has a very mild climate. april warmish for us.

    2) no, you will always get a B&amp;B  with vacancies without advanced notice.

    4) in the sea, apart from that i don&#039;t know of any,

    5) abrakebabera (i&#039;m common)

    6) yes, we like all people from other countries, but don&#039;t get too personal.

    7) best tour, is a tour of west belfast.

    8) the best part of a day.

    7. do the Dublin city bus tour you&#039;ll get to see everything

    8. About 5 hours you&#039;d be better off getting the train.

    9. Nope

    10. 40 and over, there all sitting on bar stools in old men pubs :)

  6. I wouldn&#039;t take a bus from Dublin to Killarney as it would probably take about two days on Irish roads.  I would fly as it takes about thirty five minutes.  The whole of northern Europe is under the threat of rain pretty much the whole year round.  By Islands, I&#039;m not sure what you mean as Ireland has very few.

  7. 1. Does it rain a lot in the month of April??

    ha! it rains a lot every month...april showers next month! dont forget your umbrella

    2. Are the hotels and B&amp;B usually booked up in April?

    3. What are the coolest islands to see?

    I heard Aran Islands are cool-I&#039;ve never been though

    4. Where can we take a good seaweed bath?

    oh...there was someplace in the paper where even the celebrities go-it&#039;s somewhere in the west of ireland, try googling it

    5. What is the best restaurant to eat at in Dublin?

    they&#039;re all good...I usually just go to mcdonalds lol

    6. Do the Irish people like American tourists?

    I dont have a problem with them but everyone else complains that you&#039;re too loud

    2. No, but you should still book them.

    3. Achill off the coast of galway on the west coast, and the blaskets, off the coust of kerry, the most beautiful place on earth and best at gaelic football by a country mile.

    4. Ballybunion county kerry.

    5. LOL... How much can you afford?!

    7. Paddywagon, I suppose.

    8. six to seven hours.

    9.You&#039;re grand!

    10. Portmarnock.

  10. I&#039;m not an Irelander, but I&#039;m an American who has been to Ireland 3 times and will be back a fourth in December.  I&#039;ll try to answer your questions from a tourist&#039;s point of view.

    1. Does it rain a lot in the month of April?? Yes, but it rains pretty much the whole year round. Typically July and August are the warmest and driest months.

    2. Are the hotels and B&amp;B usually booked up in April? I was in Belfast (Northern Ireland) on Easter 2005. I thought that it would be hard to find a place to stay during the holiday and was worried since I hadn&#039;t made any prior reservations.  It actually was fairly easy. I&#039;ve never made reservations ahead of time for any of my trips, and I&#039;ve always found rooms. It&#039;s more expensive during the summer months though.

    3. What are the coolest islands to see? I&#039;ll have to get back to you after December.  I haven&#039;t been to any of the islands yet, but I&#039;ll be (weather permitting) going to the Aran Islands.

    4. Where can we take a good seaweed bath? I would recommend Celtic Seaweed Baths in Strandhill, County Sligo.  Here&#039;s their website for more info:  http://www.celticseaweedbaths.com/

    5. What is the best restaurant to eat at in Dublin?

    I mainly ate in pubs and small cafes to save money, so I&#039;m probably not the person to answer this question.  Here is a website with the top 10 best rated restaurants:  http://www.suite101.com/article.cfm/trav... (scroll to near bottom of page)

    6. Do the Irish people like American tourists? They seemed to. Nearly everyone I met seemed really friendly and open.  I think as long as you are polite and keep quiet about controversial subjects (politics, etc.) you will be fine.

    7. What is the best tour to take while we are there? There are so many great ones!  If you&#039;re in Waterford, don&#039;t miss the Waterford Crystal Factory&#039;s tour.  Also, Dublin has great city bus tours that show you all around the city so you don&#039;t miss any of the great sites.

    8. How long is the bus ride from Dublin to Killarney? According to the Bus Eireann website, it looks like it takes about 7 hours (with a stop in Limerick). http://194.106.151.88/jplan/bin/query.ex...

    9. Do I ask really stupid questions? No, actually they&#039;re good ones. :)

    10. Where do the cutest irish men hang out, 40 and older? All the usual places, but normally wherever there&#039;s music and ale.  I&#039;d try the pubs or at the Guinness Factory.

  11. Forget answers  1 to 9.

    Answer 10. My house. E mail me for details. :O)

  12. Forget about all those questions. just go for some real guinuiss and you will.

  13. 1.Yes. 2.No. 3.Arran islands. 4. In the sea I suppose. 5.If you find it let me know. 6.Yes. 7. Everyone does the ring of Kerry. 8. A guess 4 hours. 9.No. 10. There is a place called Lisdoonvara where once a year the local farmers come looking for wives, I dont know the whole story, ask when you get there. I dont think &quot;cute&quot; is exactly the right description though. 11. In general, Ireland and the Irish are lovely, you`ll have a great time. It is`nt cheap though. When I`m there I always go to Shelbourne Park dog track, (greyhound racing), even if you are not into that, give it a go, its great fun.
