In honor of St. Patrick’s Day today, I thought I’d dust off an oldie but goodie: my Dublin travel video. In this video I basically roam around the Guiness Storehouse, but in Part Two, I head to the St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin, an appropriate destination for today. It’s been a while [...]

The thought occurred to me mid-flight between Vancouver and Salt Lake City. Why I was flying from Vancouver to Salt Lake City was a mystery known only to the Expedia gods. I was on a three-week travel tour in support of the charity I work for. I needed to get [...]

New York to Dublin for $434 (R/T incl. taxes/fees): This is about as cheap as you’re going to get for this flight from New York to Ireland. This rate is basically a very off-season price, so to see it crop up in the middle of September, a perfect time to [...]

Dublin is one of the world’s most popular travel destinations, and a few days spent there shows why. In Part One of my travel guide to Dublin, I tour the city’s number one attraction, the Guinness Storehouse, go in search of the bar that serves the best pint, visit prestigious [...]
