Guinness is Good for Baking
Something rich and Irish for Christmas? Well, I’d recommend a Guinness Cake … but not freshly baked. You see, the cake has to mature a bit, at least for a week, longer is better. So you might think about starting to buy the ingredients now and beginning to bake soon. Really. Otherwise you will miss [...]

Friday, September 30, 2011
In an ideal world, all taxis in Bali would be honest, never making up fake fees on the spot, never refusing to employ the meter, and never monopolizing fares in the airport. Ha. You wish. … Read Full Post View full post on About.com Southeast Asia Travel

Thursday, September 8, 2011
When we recently checked into the Carraig Hotel in Carrick-on-Suir, we were in for some surprises. Like seemingly endless staircases up to our room. And a small window needed for ventilation, but leading to some noise at night. Still recommended? Yes, but it goes to show that if you have special needs or preferences, you’d [...]
Continue reading...Connecting Flights – A Good Idea?
Friday, August 5, 2011
Are connecting flights really a negative? Think about it – your flight to Ireland may be via Frankfurt, Paris or London. Great cities all, with loads of attractions and accommodation plus a very good public transport system. So, if you have to stop there while flying to Ireland anyway – why not make it a [...]

Friday, April 22, 2011
Tourists and guide(book)s both seem to be eternally confused by the question: Is Good Friday a holiday or just a holy day in Ireland? Well, the answer is somewhere in the middle. Good Friday is, obviously, celebrated by the Christian churches and hence part of the liturgical life. It is, however, not a public holiday [...]

Friday, January 7, 2011
Rarely would an additional expense be seen as a good news item … but: Ireland’s ambitious road building programme has actually delivered results well in time and the brand new road atlas you bought in early 2010 is now woefully out of date. New motorways have sprung up left, right and centre. … Read Full Post View full [...]

Saturday, January 1, 2011
Last night my friends and I were too far from Big Ben and the London Eye to see the spectacular New Year’s Eve Fireworks. But we could hear them and see the reflections of their lights on the low clouds. We were outside watching for the merest glimpse when what appeared to be a galleon, [...]

Friday, August 27, 2010
I had lunch today at the Star Drug Store in Galveston (http://www.galvestonstardrug.com/). It’s a great little historic place. They claim to be the oldest drug store in Texas, and it’s a pretty sincere and non-falutin’ place, so I’m inclined to believe that their research is correct. The history doesn’t end there: the porcelain Coca-Cola sign is [...]
