Ireland travel itinerary: Dublin - Londonderry - Galway - Cork - Kilkenn Ireland It's nearly impossible to let a rainy day get you down on the Emerald Isle because most of the action happens at the pub anyway, where a local Guinness really does taste better and, somehow, a fiddle never sounded so good. With its rich musical tradition and commitment to the craic (basically, “good times”), Monday night could just become your new Saturday. Whether your thing is fishing, castle-hopping, channeling your inner Joyce during a literary tour of Dublin, or taking a leisurely drive around the Ring of Kerry, you'll find a natural contentment here. Even if you don't have a lick of Irish heritage, when you dip a slice of brown bread into your potato leek soup, it feels like you've come home. *A good, fun read about traveling through Ireland is “Round Ireland with a Fridge.” Highlights: A pint in a pub … Blarney’s stone (don’t wear a skirt) … Kilkenny Castle … Ancient ties – but still very modern … Best time to visit: May to September What it costs: Student Airfare: $388 New York to Dublin 7 nights in a hostel: $168 in Dublin Can of Coke: $1.15 Exchange rate: $1 US = .73 Euro Student Traveler travel in Ireland home page Student Traveler articles on Ireland: Highlights: Study Abroad: University Studies Abroad Consortium (USAC), Center for International Educational Exchange (CIEE), American Institute Foreign Study (AIFS), Lynn University, Cultural Experience Abroad (CEA), International Education Students (IES), SUNY Brockport, Knowledge Exchange Institute (KEI), Griffith College, Dublin, Academic Programs International (API), Work Abroad: BUNAC, Work and Travel Ireland, Kingsbrook USA, Adventure Travel: Radical Travel, Contiki Holidays, GAP Adventures,
