My friend and whistle player, Joe B. is flying into Dublin sometime on Wed 19 Nov. I am looking for contacts, designated drivers, pubs, any leads at all for he and his son....and pouting because he is not taking me.....they have no set itinerarty, just 12 days of fun....

i am sure this has been discussed
there is not anything in the
search when i search ireland
which seems quite preposterous
but you might find a thread
on it if you search...perhaps
the key word travel would help

Sorcha, I think you're cutting it a bit fine before departure to make any plans with people over there, but there is plenty of information on the forum about places to go, for example Help: Where do I go in Ireland?

A lot depends of course on the sort of things they want to do and where they want to go.

Actually, I was just wondering if anybody in or around Dublin wanted to meet my friend, hang out, and maybe drive them around. They do plan to get a hire car.

Sorcha, I was given more information than I could possibly have used this summer, when I was preparing for an August trip to England and Ireland (one week each).

If I had my own PC and my cookie, I could give you links to the thread I originated and a couple of concurrent threads on places to go and people to see in Ireland. (One was Dublin-only -- may have been entitled "Real Dublin Sessions Please?"). If you're able to search it out, maybe you can find some useful references under the thread title "England/Ireland in August: Advice?" Some of the posts include cross-references to other threads.

Can't really add much from my experience: we only spent one day in Dublin, and never got off the beaten track there. (We did have some interesting and unique encounters further west.) I wouldn't imagine your friend needs me to direct him to the Temple Bar area.

If so why isn't he bringing you???
