We had a hearing this morning to try to extend our eviction date. The solicitor for the mortgage company opposed any delay. The judge told us we were naive for believing our property management company when they said it was all being sorted out 4 months ago. Since we had another property with a move in date, he ended up giving us three more days. So, we’ll be out by Thursday (23rd) since the eviction is now 9:45am, April 24. While we would have preferred a week, this will give us the necessary time to clean the new place and move at a reasonable pace.
We leave tomorrow for Ireland. Got any recommendations for Dublin or Cork? We haven’t gotten around to planning lots of details yet.

Wow, I can’t believe that they didn’t give you a week. That’s so frustrating. I’m glad you are doing the Ireland trip though. Suggestions?
Newgrange (world heritage site, the one we mentioned with the light)cool youtube it.
Caving tours (might be fun for the boys) tons of cool caves sprinkled all over ireland.
Jamieson/Guiness breweries (dublin)
Clarence Hotel (Bono owns it, dublin)

I would recommend St. Michan’s Church. It has a burial vault below the church that you can go into and see century old bodies. Costs a couple of Euros and not real easy to find, but it is worth it.
The Guiness brewery is fun, but it may be too much for the boys. The view at the top is great.
We weren’t very impressed with Christ Church Cathedral. Amazing building, but it had been turned into a tourist place. No reverence at all.
Enjoy the trip.
