A Week in Ireland

Travel Comments Off

Ever since I went on holiday to France when I was fifteen with my parents I have wanted to go on holiday to Ireland! Down in the South of France I met a girl a year or two older than me that I had a serious crush on! She paid no attention to me given the fact that I was about three years older than me and she hardly seemed to notice that I existed! It didn’t stop me from falling in love with the Irish accent, and the way they had with words. All of her family seemed so fun and upbeat that I was sure other people over there would be similar.

It took me ten years to finally get over to Ireland, and I have to say that it was worth the wait. I can honestly say on my return that the people of Ireland are like no other. They are uniformly cheerful anf fun, and they have a great sense of humour. I managed to find myself some flights to Cork online and found myself in a nice hotel in the centre of the town. Every day I would explore either the vibrant city or the beautiful areas in the vicinity of the city, and in the evening I would head out into the bars of the town. Every night I would meet new people and it was always so easy to strike up a conversation. I met more genuine people that week than I think I have met in my entire life, and that cannot be coincidence alone.

Kodak Theater home to the Oscars is a fabulous sight to behold. The museums throughout LA are amazing. There are theme parks that are geared to the movie making industry like Universal Studios Hollywood, there are great restaurants and wineries and of course celebrity homes tour buses that leave every hour on the hour. A visit to the House of Blues on the Sunset Strip is a great way to spend an evening in L.A.

If comedy is the order of business for the evening then The Comedy Store also on Sunset is a great option for a few chuckles and a meal.
