Weekendin 62 Something to Hope for Perhaps one of the best ways to get you re-charged and excited for the next few months is to plan a holiday for the middle or end of the year. Travel vacations are exciting because it involves displacing yourself into a whole new world, where just about anything can happen. You might pick up a new cultural practice, discover something new about yourself or better yet, meet the love of your life! 1 Dublin Ireland A city with a whole lot of personality, a trip to Dublin in Ireland is sure to form good memories that will be remembered for years. At the heart of this vibrant city are its people, the Dubliners, who aren’t afraid to be garrulous and witty. Yet they make the best hosts as they welcome you into their city with open hearts and maybe even a drink in hand! A home to writers such as James Joyce, Samuel Beckett and Oscar Wilde, Dublin undoubtedly has a rich literary heritage. One of the best ways to experience this history and to discover what inspired these equally inspirational writers is to attend the literary pub crawl through the city. An absolute must for fans of the Guinness drink is to visit the Gravediggers Pub (or Kavanagh’s) which has earned a name as one of Ireland’s most classic pubs, as well as a visit to the Guinness Storehouse.
