Review: I took his one along! - When my children gave me a long dreamed of trip to Ireland for my 70-th birthday, I decided to get a b-n-b in Dublin for an entire week. I like the size and detail of this guide and did my homework using many sources. I was able to tailor my week to my own interests and even with rest days I managed to enjoy all my must-see sites and enjoy relaxing dinners every day. If I ever get to go back...I’ll stay! Review: Good travel guide - Order the hard copy. Kindle version isn't as useful. The day by day book series is small enough to carry around in a back pocket. Printed books include a map and are much easier to work with. The kindle version fits on your phone but isn't an easy or quick reference when walking down the street.
