A Magical Mystery Tour

I landed in Dublin yesterday and I am already packing to leave. About two months ago, I booked a Ryan Air flight to Liverpool for 26 Euros (about $30 US). It was such a good price that if I didn't use it, I wouldn't be too upset at losing $30.

As of yesterday morning, I was planning on not going to Liverpool. Being two days late into Dublin - I was a little self conscious about how much work I had to catch up on. However, after being back in town yesterday, getting caught up, and talking to my team members, I've decided to use the flight and have a weekend in Liverpool.

One of my main concerns was that I would not be able to get back to Dublin if the volcanic ash cloud shifted once again. My colleague from Liverpool has assured me if that happens, he'll pick me up from my hotel and we'll take the ferry back to Dublin.

So, with all of my concerns addressed, I'm flying out to Liverpool tonight - returning early Monday morning. Of the many things to do in Liverpool, I do plan on taking the Magical Mystery Tour, taking in some Beatles history.

I'll also likely visit Snowdonia National Park in North Wales. The rest of my agenda for the weekend in wide open. I've rented a car - let's see where it takes me.
