One added benefit...it will give me the chance to do the Trad Music Pub Crawl again, which is great fun! Also, don't forget the Literary Pub Crawl, or one of the guided Bloomsday walks. Yup...lots to do in Dublin! Last time I did the Trad Pub Crawl, I had just come back from Donegal, and sang "...

I won't be having a car, so I'll be dependent on public transit...that's another factor. I know there are busses that go to Gleann Cholm Cille from Dublin and from Galway. Galway's physically closer to Gleann, but getting to Galway from Shannon on public transit can be a bit of a nightmare from what...

if you are looking for the cheapest option, don't rule out flying into Glasgow and getting the Donegal bus from there. The Americans that we run across here say you can get good deals flying out of New York to Glasgow. David Hmmm. Does that fly into Donegal airport? Might be worth taking a look at....

hi Redwolf you would likely be better flying into Belfast. it would probably be easier to get to Donegal from there. David It's pretty simple from Dublin, actually...Bus Éireann and Mc Geehan's both go to Donegal Town and then transfer to Gleann Cholm Cille (it's not a bad ride...I did it in the re...

Hey all, I recently learned that I've been awarded a Gaeltacht Summer Award to spend a month in an Irish immersion program in Donegal. The award covers tuition, room, and board, which is wonderful (and the one thing that's making this doable this year!). I have to make my own travel arrangements, ho...

Do we have them any more over here? I'm not sure since the bankruptcy ...

No, but they're coming back. Another company recently bought Hostess.

Our cruise is Carnival which wouldn't be our first choice normally. However, for the time period we had available and the price it was the only option. I'm hoping that this Northern itinerary won't attract as much of the "party boat" crowd as the Caribbean cruises do. It probably won't. Y...

We changed our plans for a summer vacation from a Nova Scotia driving tour to a Northern European cruise. We leave from Dover England and then visit Copenhagen,Warnemunde Germany (2.5 hr by bus from Berlin), Helsinki Finland, St. Petersburgh Russia, Tallinn Estonia and Zeebrugge Belgium (where I'll...

Hey Audrey (et al)...I'm still casting about looking for a place to talk wire harp I've only had my harp four days...and I've been to the hardware store twice obtaining parts (though, no fishing line :poke: ) -- anchoring pins for use as string stops as I cobble together replacement strings from ot...

Triplett 25 str. Love it!

Congratulations!

In North Carolina, our license/registration fee was separate from our vehicle tax. You paid a relatively small amount to register your car (I can't remember how much, off the top of my head, but it was minimal...something like $25). After about six months, you'd then get a vehicle tax bill in the ma...

I would definitely recommend taking this request to ILF. We handle this kind of thing all the time. http://www.irishlearner.awyr.com.

BTW, am I the only one who wonders if this person is actually looking for "The Catcher in the Rye"?

I would think that the trouble with referring to Gàidhlig as "Scottish" would be that there would be confusion with "Scots" (Lallans). Ireland doesn't have a similar Germanic dialect (well, they do in the north, but it's called "Ulster Scots") to create confusion. That ...
