Going to Ireland

[Dutchboy 0]

Seems I'm forced to go to Ireland in two weeks for my job. Of course, I have to skydive while I'm there. Anybody else have any pointers for me? I know there is a DZ an hour outside of Dublin.

Yes here is a very good pointer..TAKE ME WITH YOU!!!! I am irish, granted I've never been there, lol, yet...but the good news is that I like to get naked when I drink...wait I get naked even when I don't drink though either. Anyways...never been there so all I can say is do an extra jump for me!
**BLUE ONES**
BITE ME.... :P

Hey - have you read Bill von Novak's column on Skydiving in Ireland maybe you can write a follow-up when you get back. Safe swoops

Hopefully I'll actually get to jump this time. Unlike my trip to cloudy Southern California last week. I'll attempt to write up the experience. That's assuming they'll let me jump there especially with the foot and mouth stuff happening.

Don't land in the bog.

I hear that Dublin is one of the coolest cities in Europe right now... are there and Irish folks on who will confirm/deny this notion?

Advice for Americans visiting Ireland:

If an Irishman tells you that there's "good crack" to be had in a certain bar it's not what you think...

Neither is the "Galway Hooker Festival."

Or the National Hurling Championships...

I don't know about skydiving there, but I spent two weeks there last year...

the entire travel journal is at www.nightingalesnest.net clickon the first link, which is to my travels page, and then on Ireland, if you want to read it.

And don't offer someone of the same sex a ride.
