O’Connell Sunset
corey says…Report from 7June. Posh Day came to a crashing end the moment I strapped my bulging backpack to my shoulders and stepped out into the busy street facing the River Liffey. The sun was blazing down, but thankfully it wasn’t too hot.
I coursed my way along the Liffey battling the crowds of [...]

Polish Bakery
corey says…Report from 7June. After the Botanic Gardens, I found my way to Glasnevin Cemetery. The gardens and the cemetery butt against each other, but I had to walk around to get to the graveyard’s main gates.
Glasnevin is one of those great, old cemeteries, built when tombstones were monuments. The most notable feature is [...]

Blessington Pigeons
corey says…I finally climbed out of my sumptuous bed at the Morrison at 8:30. I made myself a cuppa with their special loose leaf tea and popped my iPod into the room’s docking station to enjoy my own playlist.
Then it was into the enormous shower where I lathered up with the soaps and shampoos [...]

Gresham High Tea
corey says…I love Posh Day. After freshening up in my marvelously appointed room at the Morrison, I wandered around the block to Bloom’s Lane…a new trendy pedestrian street just across the Ha’ Penny Bridge linking to Henry Street and its cluster of gorgeous department stores and shops. Oh, this place was perfect for [...]

Back to Work
corey says…Okay, I could get used to this. I decided to treat myself today and booked at the Morrison. Wow! What a difference. The whole place is nicely designed and the staff (yes, they have more than one person working there are top notch and the whole place is absolutely silent.
My [...]

Revenue Museum
corey says…Boy of boy, I really shook up the town today! I was asked to leave the Euro Saver store…This is one of those “Everything’s €2″ shops. You see, I was carrying a drink in with me, and a security guard who probably just finished his leaving cert (high school) barreled up to me, [...]

Tax Record
corey says…As the city woke, I observed. At first I had the streets to myself. With no shops or cafes open, I opted to visit Saint Valentine…or rather, his relics. Yep, he’s been hanging out with the Carmelite Sisters in Dublin for a good number of years, and you can visit him too [...]

Going Wireless
corey says…I am on the bus to Dublin as I type this. My wireless broadband is working great, except trying to upload photos can be spotty because we’re driving in and out of coverage at times.
I much prefer taking the train to Dublin, but from Nenagh there is only morning and evening service, so [...]
