Asking me, "Why the hell would you want to come here"? (Shrugging Shoulders) :)<BR/><BR/>They really don't understand why we want to come to there humble city. But, I don't understand why anyone would fly for eight hours, just to go to Disney World. Same premise, I guess.

The unspoken thought was "why are you going there"?

By the way, my mothers family is from County Down. (McCoy's) Let me know how the trip goes. <BR/><BR/>Jury's Inn near Belfast City Centre is a great hotel with a gracious staff, if you are looking for a good hotel to stay at. <BR/><BR/>I made more friends in Belfast in a day, than I did the six days based out of Dublin. However, the people I met out of the city were very nice. <BR/><BR/>Dublin is like any big city, you're going to find an arse somewhere. :-)<BR/><BR/>Have fun...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
