May 18th THE ARRIVAL
-Arrive in Dublin 6:45 PM
-Get Cash at Airport for Food, Snacks and Tolls
-Get car with GPS.
-MONEY SAVING TIP: If you can drive stick shift, rent a manual and you will save a lot of
money. Automatics are more expensive to rent. It is a little difficult learning to drive and use stick
on the opposite side but you will get the hang of it. It's a fun little challenge but doable. However if
you aren't good at stick remember the roads can be narrow and they use lots of roundabouts that are slightly confusing.
-8 PM Grafton Street
-8:45 St Stephens Green:
-TIP: Most people do nothing the first night of vacation. If you are looking to do as much as
possible on your trip, do something relaxing like walking grafton street. It's nice after sitting in a
plane so long.
-Check in Aberdeen lodge

May 19th DEER, SPORTS, & FOLKLORE
-11:00 AM Phoenix Park (Wild Deer):
-TIP: Sometimes finding the deer can be tricky. The area near the Popes cross is sometimes
where you'll find them but they are also found wandering throughout the park. For some reason I
normally see them on the left hand side of the road as you head towards Castleknock. You could
hire bikes at the entrance to the park and if you see any park rangers give them a friendly wave and
ask them where they've seen the deer that day.
-2 PM Experience Gaelic Games:
-5:30 PM Book of Kells and Trinity College:
-6:30 Brazen Head- Folklore
-Drive to Hotel in Northern Ireland Hotel 1:53 hour Drive:
-BallyRobin Country Lodge in Northern Ireland:
-TIP: Northern Ireland Sites get pretty busy with tourists. We drive as close as we can the
night before so we don't have to wake up extremely early and still we beat the tourists to these sites.
Any time you want to be close to a place with lots of tourists I recommend staying as close as
possible and waking early.

May 20th NORTHERN IRELAND'S BEAUTY
-1 Hour Drive Time from Hotel to Giants Causeway with tolls.
-7:30 AM Bushmills- Giants Causeway:
-TIP: The Visitors Center of Giants Causeway open at 9AM and that is when the crowds
start to come. You are allowed to get there before 9 AM. I recommend doing so. Get up REAL early
leaving around 5:30 AM and getting there around 6:30 AM.

trail down the mountain.

May 28th BLARNEY & BRAVEHEART
-10:30 AM Cork Blarney Castle:
TOURIST ALERT: Kissing the blarney stone is fun and traditional. However, I think this
place has been too renovated and has too many people to feel authentic. So if kissing the stone
doesn't sound like your thing, and it was kinda moist and gross, then I recommend going to other
castles instead. BUT I wanted to kiss the stone so we did it anyway!

-4 PM Trim Castle:
