Summary: The Only Guide You'll Need
Review: A complete guide, Fodor's 2002 contains an A to Z travel tips section, covering such topics as cutting costs on air travel, boat and ferry travel, business hours, and all forms of surface travel.You'll find information on traveling with children, traveling with disabilities, insurance, lodging,gay and lesbian travel, packing, passports and visas, student and senior travel, safety, telephones, and the weather. And there's more. Much more. Eire apparent gives a fascinating overview of what to expect from your first sighting on land to the phenomenon of the Celtic Tiger. Learn about the friendly people of Ireland, new and noteworthy additions to the Irish landscape. Fodor's Choice contains valuable information on what's best to see if you're on a limited time holiday. Historic buildings, bed and breakfasts, restaurants: this handy section covers them all. Festivals and seasonal events are listed, along with handy telephone numbers. Dublin has its own section covering history, sights, activities, shopping, dining, nightlife, accommodations, and information on areas to the north and south of the city. The Midlands, Southeast, Southwest, West, Northwest, and Northern Ireland are similarly covered. There's an eight-page section on golf and golf courses for the sports-minded (Irish Greens), also a chronology. Small area maps are located in each section, plus there's a pull-out driving map in the back. The back cover contains conversion tables. Carry this book with you and you'll rarely have to ask for assistance. Of course, with the friendliness of the Irish, asking is part of the fun. Fodor's 2002 is written in a clear, easy-to-understand style, yet descriptions of the country retain a linguistic flair that will keep you turning the pages. Each contributing editor is a highly trained professional writer living in Ireland. Highly recommended.
