Any last minute packing questions you have for Ireland? My only suggestion is to still bring some cool-weather clothing as it keeps randomly dropping back into the 50s. Also, bring yourself a bag of chocolate chips. They are ridiculously expensive here, and chances are you will want to make cookies sometime during the semester. Also, the lack of Kraft mac & cheese was an issue for my flatmate, although I don't know your feelings concerning that strange orange concoction.
Also, when you get here, as an FYI, you have to flag down the buses. Just stick your arm out and they will stop. I learned that one the hard way :/
Oh, and if you'll be doing any grocery shopping of your own, you might want to bring along a canvas bag. They charge for plastic bags here (yay! we need to do this in the US!) and you can buy a canvas one, but might as well save yourself some money. This is one expensive city and you'll need every penny you've got.
GAH!! I KNOW!! My three-year is on Friday lol, how crazy and wonderful.
Just for your information---People who will be in Ireland for the next few weeks: 1) You 2) Kim Ruth- anthropology trip 3) My brother- seein' the sites in the good ol' U.K.
Too bad NONE of you probably have GSM world phones...or else that would be some kind of other-wordly reunion. I'm betting it'll happen by pure coincidence, just for my own personal amusement.
So...watch your back in Ireland lol. And HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
