St. Patrick's in Ireland Booked

I just booked my 52 pound flight to Dublin, Ireland for Tuesday March 15th - Sunday March 20th. I leave London - Stansted at 8:10, arrive in Dublin at 9:25. Then I depart from Dublin at 6:25, arrive in London at 7:45. I know we plan on visiting my USC friend Jake Kennedy's family in Cork, Waterford, and Belfast. Any suggestions on things we must visit, see, do, and eat in any of the above four cities? I want to see the National Park shown in P.S. I Love You, and of course any other places in this movie. But other than that I expect this will be like Spring Break in Ireland for those of you familiar with the Irish, sorry mom and dad.

My Promise

Here is the list of all 27 European Union Countries I will be visiting from January 4th - June 17 (or longer depending on family visits). Right now I am thinking of collecting a shot glass from each country but that may be too much to carry and I may need to collect a smaller, more malleable object. I also want to take a picture or video with each person doing what they choose for us to do. Let's hope people are as open to doing this as I am. And if anyone knows of a place, person, or thing I must do in each country please let me know. I am moving to Europe with $10,000 from my grandmother which I want to put to good use because of the woman she is. As many of you know my grandmother is sick and I almost did not go to Europe but she insisted I do. I promise to post any new updates by Sunday, my day of rest, but Internet access may keep me from always making these posts. I hope I can offer you all something to start the week with, maybe you can find someone to do the same thing with. My goal is to pay it forward across seas, so let me know how it goes for you!
