I'm not going to live there, just visit. If I like it, I may move there after this whole Army thing.

I was face down in Killarney for 2 days.
I liked it up in Donegal, Sligo and Mayo counties best.
Fished for Salmon in Ballina.
Be flexible and go where the road calls.
You WILL have a great time.

This. Very much so. Weekends were nonstop bachelorette parties along the whole bar area.

I was there for a little over two weeks in June, it rained only when the plane landed and on the way back to the airport. I came back to Miami with more of a tan than I left with. Everyone over there was commenting on what an amazing summer it was. I hope your luck is as good as mine was.

When you have had enough cream in your Irish Coffee (HAAAA!!!!....uh, I crack myself up)
maybe head on down to the Dom Rep or PR for some Cafe Mocha. If you are single, might as well sample em all.

No matter how accomplished a drinker you are, going to Ireland will make you look like a newbie.

On my last vacation there, I took the advice of a pub owner and stayed away from Dublin and Galway. I had a GREAT time!

No snakes

No firearms.

Good luck..and Godspeed!

Irish women are extremely rough looking in my experience. Although there are just as many Australians, Canadians, Americans, etc in Dublin as there are Irish so that doesn't matter too much.

If theres no snakes, than you dont need firearms.

The Fitzpatrick castle/hotel near Dublin is nice. Hit some pubs and drink some Guinness. Hire a boat and do some fishing on the Irish sea, that's pretty awesome. Take a ride upland and check out that peat bogs. Rent a car and drive to coast.

It's a vacation destination, not a place to live.

People are awesome, the best in Europe if you ask me. The food is horrible. I mean BAD.

So we're pulling through a tropical depression and within twenty minutes, it hits 90 again.

I love everything about Texas except the weather.

Ireland is the only place in the world that I have been to that I couldn't understand what the people were saying. I have been to 18 countries so far and there accent is so heavy and they speak so fast I couldn't understand them.

You needed to sip some whiskey before talking to them. That's what I did and it worked out fine.

Skip Ireland head on over to Amsterdam spend a week or two playing and then rent a car and cruze through the Netherland into Belgiumand then onto Germany, once in Germany it's up to you Bavaria is beautiful and Berlin has all kinds of fun things for a single man.

I've been to all these places(most of Europe and central Europe also) and this is the trip I would take if I became single or found out I was going to die.

Be sure to ask the bartenders there for a car bomb. They love it when tourists do that.

My grandparents/great grandparents sure went through a lot to escape from that place. From what I have heard about some of those folks there may still be people there looking for us. I'm staying here.

On the Southern coast, there's little town called Kinsale.

Very, very quiet.

If I wanted to forget about the world and the world to forget about me, that's where I would move to.

There and maybe Cork...
