I have a good friend who is currently living in Ireland, engaged to an Irish guy, & last time I talked to her she said they are planning to get married nxt yr.
I started my preliminary trip research today, playing w/ flights & dates to get a general idea of the cost. At this point I am expecting to be flying into Dublin but don't know for sure yet. So far I am planning for a five-day trip & looking also for thoughts on hotels/hostels vs couchsurf.com-type arrangements. I would like sm advice from members who are more familiar w/ the country abt good places to stay, in Dublin & elsewhere since I won't know for sure where I'll be going until I talk to her again (hopefully this wk or nxt wk sm time).
Also, do you think it's worth getting a rental car? I guess it depends on how much travelling around I plan on doing, but honestly I have enough trouble managing American-style driving on the 'right' side of the road, plus I don't know how to drive stickshift! The thought of driving over there makes me want a drink lol.
Thnx for any advice!

Trying to get an idea of how to manage travel w/o my own vehicle. Just learnt today that I may soon be learning to drive a stick after all, but the confusion of driving on the opposite side of the road 


I have travelled in Europe as an adult (altho it's been a few yrs) but I have always felt it's no different than a lot of American cities. Sure there are areas you would want to avoid but you will find that element in any location.
