Weekend Away...Dublin
I am lucky to have two of these before Christmas. I enjoy the planning as much as the weekend away itself.
I am heading to Dublin this month for a weekend...
On the plan so far there is the:
To be determined :
Shopping:
Need to do a list of what I want/need.Turns out I inadvertently published my H&M and River Island Shopping lists yesterday evening.Was trying out Polyvore and thought I click share to draft. But apparently NOT. Still I am a learner!
I am open to all suggestions!

On the plan so far there is the:
- Jameson Distillery or the Guinness Brewery. My deciding factor maybe that I prefer whiskey....Or I may just do both!!
- Shopping
- Ikea on the way home on Sunday
To be determined :
- Nice reasonable hotel to stay.Thinking Blanchardstown Crown Plazza at €71 per room per night.Has great reviews.Hotel looks lovely and can shop in Blanchardstown Shopping Centre, drop off my shopping bags at the hotel and go back for more shopping...
- Nice restaurant for dinner.
- Nice bar for some drinks.

Slán!
Can you believe that although I live in Dublin, I've never been to Blanchardstown?? Southsider!! So can't help you there ... unless you decide to change to the Dundrum side in which case I can give you loads of recommendations. Ikea definitely a must - but you might want to leave the Hubby in the car. It's apparently Man Hell. Whatever you do, I'm sure you'll have fun!
ReplyDeleteIf I change my mind I will be back to you asap.Hubbie does not mind Ikea, too much. This time I will not be shopping for anything specific e.g wardrobes, the last time. This time it will be just looking around...love it!
ReplyDeleteI have been to Blanchardstown shopping and liked it but mostly go to Dundrum now because it is easier to drive there for me:)Hope you enjoy your trip!

Hi Anne, Blanch is easier for me to get to. I am looking forward to it.Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteYou cna buy Christmas decorations in Ikea!!! x
ReplyDeleteYa, and pretty wrapping paper...
DeleteHi j. Soooo jealous about your visit to Dublin. Blanchardstown is defiantly the place to go for shopping. I got a great deal on a ski jacket in the Tkmax there and the H&Ms great. Think staying in Blanchardstown is a good move with the shops on your doorstep and there is a great Cinema complex there.
ReplyDeleteP.S. let it be noted that i love Ikea!
I hope your weekends away go really well for you
ReplyDeleteand that you get lots of shopping done.
I have never been to Ikea or Blanchardstown!
Sorry to read that some of your family are ill,
that vomiting bug is a terrible thing.
Well done you on getting to learn Polyvore,
I tried once and gave up, too complicated for me!
Hope your weekend is going well and that you get out for a walk,
