I LOVE April in Ireland, one can get Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter all in the one day, I just LOVE it, love from Ireland

[@TheEvergreens]

Yes! Such a beautiful time to visit!!

[@trollfinger]

O'Neil's is an amazing spot even as a Dubliner. Glad you had fun.

[@TheEvergreens]

Thanks so much! It was grand!! ✨

It was our first real Guinness experience and we definitely became fans. They say it tastes better in Dublin though.

@@TheEvergreens it is a great city , i hoped you managed to get out more into the country side , we have some amazing scenery

@@GrandWalkingTours we went up to Northern Ireland for a few days! We posted that video last week. We can’t wait to get back and see more of Ireland though ☺️

[@Hiram1000]

1st thing. Get out of Dublin..2nd thing: In the States, if you have Irish heritage, you get away with describing yourself as Irish. In Ireland, however, your just considered American, so don't be offended. Its really simple. If you're born in Ireland, but moved to the US, then you're Irish. If you're born in the States, regardless of heritage, then you're American. While touring the States, I was amazed at the number of Americans who considered themselves to be Irish, but had never set foot anywhere in Europe! 3rd and final thing: Europe is not a country!

[@KathyAnn1213]

Enjoyed your video! We just booked flights from Pittsburgh to Dublin for September. It will be our fourth trip to Ireland!

[@TheEvergreens]

Ah! That's so exciting. You'll have to let us know some of your favorite spots after spending so much time there! :)

[@KathyAnn1213]

I love western Ireland, especially touring Slea Head drive on the Dingle Peninsula. The views are absolutely amazing! I watched your 2nd video and see that your next stop was Northern Ireland. I’ll be curious to see if you stopped at the rope bridge at Carrick-a-Rede. We loved it, but it was definitely more strenuous of a hike than we expected!

[@tompurvis1261]

We are headed over in September for our third trip to Ireland, after first visiting Paris for the 6th time.

A walking tour is such a great way to kick things off in a new place. Those dancers are seriously TIGHT! Pouring a Guinness is def’ a skill - really cool they tech you that in the tour. Awesome outtakes, especially the “head on a pillow!” 🤣

[@elizabethmorris1923]

I've been looking for some new travel vloggers to watch since I've got a major travel itch right now, and I already absolutely love your videos! Pro tip for getting a row to yourself on the plane as a pair, book the aisle and window (or aisle and aisle if your are in the center island) and leave the middle empty. It's less appealing to people to pick, and if it does get booked just offer to switch the person to sit together. No one will fight you to stay in the middle seat lol

[@TheEvergreens]

Hey Elizabeth! Thanks so much for the nice comment...we're glad you found our channel :) We've heard of this tip before...just haven't tried it out yet but we'll definitely have to on an upcoming flight!

[@jerrybarnes6611]

So good to finally see two American tourists with their act together. So many are clueless and there's no need to be as you can research everything from bus time tables, sporting and theatre events, opening hours, booking tours (like the Book of Kells) etc. There's no need to be surprised by the weather - check it in advance. For Americans if you have T Mobile for phone service it will work seamlessly once you arrive - no switching SIM cards etc. However if you DO need a SIM card getting one from Amazon prior to your trip is an excellent idea.

[@TheEvergreens]

Thank you, Jerry! You’re right, there’s definitely all the information you need out there to plan a successful trip if you just do some research ahead of time.

To get that third seat empty, you need to book the 1 and 3 and leave 2 open. No one books a middle seat unless the flight is full. They will happily switch seats with one of you.

Hey Tom! I've actually had this thought before...we'll have to try it out next time!

[@tompurvis1261]

@@TheEvergreens our status on AA allows us to pick main cabin extra at no cost at time of booking. Lower status levels can select this at time of check in. If you had an isle seat or window seat in regular coach, would you switch to a middle seat with a few more inches of leg room? How many people travel alone to Europe from the US? It has worked well in the past.

Awesome video! We too are flying (from Philly) to Dublin in August, we'll arrive around 5:30 so my question for you two was the timing in deplaning to the bus. Our bus out to Galway leaves around 6:30 so Im a bit nervous about making that in time. Second question was, did you have any issues with the sim cards?

[@TheEvergreens]

Hey Cass, thanks for watching and commenting! We really had no delay in deboarding the plane and grabbing our luggage. There was hardly anyone else in the airport during that time so it was a quick process. Do you know where your bus leaves from? If it's outside of the airport, I think you'd be more than fine. As far as the sim cards go, mine worked great and Laurel's stopped working after the first day. We knew this was a possibility as the reviews were kind've mixed. Laurel used my phone as a hotspot so we had no issues for the rest of the trip. I was able to return her faulty sim card for a full refund on amazon when we returned home so it all worked out. Here is the link if you're interested in trying it out. I would suggest buying two like we did and returning one if you don't end up using it. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FI1JW72/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@TheEvergreens]

Hey! Is your bus leaving from the airport or would you need to get to a different location to catch the bus? One of the SIM cards worked great the entire time..the other stopped working the second day. 😅 We didn’t try very hard to troubleshoot though, since we were fine with using one phone. Amazon refunded us for the one that stopped working. Are you country hopping or staying in Ireland? There might be something better/cheaper for just Ireland!

[@Cyliecat]

@@TheEvergreens Nah our bus leaves from the airport. From what I read there's a section outside of Terminal two where all the buses leave so I think we'll be okay (hopefully) lol. I'm super nervous about not being able to use my phone. However, husband's phone just got a new data plan so like you guys we'll atleast have one working phone if mine doesn't work out with the new SIM. Thanks so much for the feedback :)

[@sarahann530]

@@Cyliecat There are 3 bus companies going to Galway and they leave about every 20 minutes . If you miss one you can grab the next one . They leave from the bus park which is out the exit of T2 and to the left . It's well signposted . Your plane can be delayed in arriving and customs and baggage can take awhile depending on how many flights arrive at the same time . Check with your phone provider some will give coverage in Ireland without changing Sim cards or if your phone is unlocked buy a Sim in Ireland at the airport .
