Planning a Trip to Ireland: The Airline Tickets

It is important for me to score a good deal on Airline Tickets.  Which I did on a Black Friday Sale through the Irish National Airlines Aer Lingus, $1200 round trip for 2 from Nashville to Dublin.

When planning a trip I break it down into a few phases.  First I decide when and where we want to travel, then buy the initial round trip tickets.  The in-country plans always come later. Sometimes the cost of the travel determines where we go.  This was one of those cases.

I was sitting in my man cave scanning through my email and my eye catches the Aer Lingus sale notice.  My mind rushes back to a few years ago to a trip with an old Army buddy where we walked Haidrains wall in Northern England.  We initially went to Dublin, then Belfast making our way to the to Newcastle where we started the 7-day walk covering 120 kilometers. It was planes, trains, and automobiles for sure on that one.

My mind continued to race back to Ireland and how I wanted to go back with Terri, and that this time we needed to see more of the countryside.  So I clicked the link on the email verified the dates of our school calendar for spring break. I then purchase the tickets on the Aer Lingus website.

So we're set for the trip a United Airlines flight from Nashville to Newark, then Newark to Dublin for our flight across the pond.   Now what to do when we get there?  This is where the fun begins. So stay tuned and we'll decide where we go, what we see, and the travel in between.
