Back from Ireland

#1 Post by fuzzywuzzy » Wed Apr 02, 2008 6:34 am

I got back to Boston yesterday afternoon. We had a wonderful time! It was extremely expensive since the dollar is so weak right now. That being said, I really think that alot of Americans will not travel abroad until the dollar gets stronger. I had lunch in Galway that cost 16 euros, translated to my credit card with fees = $30 Not the best bang for your buck...and this was at a cafeteria!

I am still in Boston, and I leave tonight for KC.

I will write more very soon!

OHHH, for SC, I saw Irish step dancing in a Pub in Dublin. It was fantastic!

:lol:

Take care everybody...

No kidding on the expense! Five of us went out for St. Patrick's Day here at home, and the total bill was $85. (Two meals were kids' meals, but even I had a beer, which I normally wouldn't but it was a celebration.)

The bill for just my husband and one son from a Pizza Express in London ended up translating to $125. Maybe my husband had pasta, and I'm sure he had wine, but $125!?!? For two people!?!? From a place called Pizza Express!?!?

We're getting hosed overseas on the exchange rate.
