Dublin - 01/03/03 09:33 PM
We have scheduled a trip to London for 6 nights in February, hotel included in the package. After which, I came across a site for Ryanair.com. They offer a roundtrip ticket to Dublin from London Stansted. We can go for $60 a person (almost the train fare to some English towns). We are considering doing a day trip to Dublin. With the current time tables, we would have 12 hours in Dublin for some serious sight seeing minus travel time to the airport. Spending a night could be done, but that would require double hotel costs as well as a more expensive flight. With that said, I have a couple questions:
1. Are we crazy?
2. Should we do it?
3. Understanding it would be a whirlwind tour, can we see enough in Dublin to make it worth it? I would be content with a tour of some chruches, maybe a museum, tour of the Guinness brewery and a pint or two.
We have never been to Ireland and this would be a quick and crazy way to do it. Keep in mind, I plan to return someday for a better tour to really do the country justice. Thoughts or advice?

No messing about and mega cheap comparing to costs and time spent going to Stanstead with Ryanair. brrrrr,(freezing today)
), if possible an overnight stay is better because the nightlife, pubs, music are what make Dublin and you might feel cheated if you have to leave half way through a great night to go home.
