- For all things driving, check the Travel tab above!

- Ireland is actually two countries. In the Republic of Ireland, which makes up most of the island, their currency is the Euro. If you travel to Northern Ireland, which is part of The UK, their currency is the Pound.

- PLEASE do not order an Irish Car Bomb shot at pubs & restaurants. A lot of Americans don't realize this, but it is HIGHLY offensive to the Irish people and their history - not to mention, they will not serve it to you.

- Irish weather can be unpredictable and it rains often. So it's best to pack layers that you can add or remove. But May and June tend to be beautiful!

- Bring a power adaptor! Irish outlets accommodate three-pronged plugs that are different from those used in the US, but the same as those in the UK. To plug in an American electrical device, such as a phone charger or laptop power cord, you will need a plug adapter. These are very inexpensive on Amazon!

- The Republic of Ireland has two official languages: English and Irish. The latter is also known as Gaeilge or Gaelic, and there's a good chance you'll see it just about anywhere – road signs are usually posted in both languages.
