Gives me enough time to save up (and I really will have to save up) and plan what I want to do.

    My girlfriend wants to come with me (we've been together for a long time now and at this point in time I'm assuming that we'll be together at that point too, if not I'll have to go with someone else who has that kind of money to throw around ) and she knows that I'm going to want to be checking out a lot of the U2 sites (slane castle, moydrum castle, mount temple, hanover quay, etc.) but we'll obviously be checking out a bunch of other sites too. Might even be worth it to split the trip in half, one half in dublin and the rest in Belfast or something so we're able to check out Northern Ireland. Either way, I'm pretty stoked!

    Might even try to make it coincide with whatever U2 tour might be going on that time to try and see them on home ground. Could be awesome

    I hope to go there this summer... and many more times. It's gonna be great for you! We all have to do our pilgrimage to the holy city of Dublin!

    That's absolutely AMAZING, Alex I'm so glad for you, mate!!! You may as well (when the time gets a bit closer, summer of 2014 is still far away) give a look to my Trip To Dublin thread - lots of enthusiastic advices are to be found there!

    PS. I'm sure you can find it, as I can't use the search function to post a link from my mobile phone. Sorry.
  3. Just found myself on this photo, I can't see my face though, it's right behind Bono's left leg. Dammit

  4. Thanks guys! And Sergio I'll be sure to look at that thread. I remember reading it back when you took your trip and actually did think "these are some good tips for when I actually make my trip there!"

    And Alexandra that sucks! (btw if you go by Alex for short, we have the same name! )

  11. Listening to Heaven and Hell from the AB anniversary and really starting to like it. Anyone know the story behind this song? Is it U2's or a cover.

    It's a U2 song, there's another demo version on the Salome bootleg.
