If you want more bank for your buck, go to Spain. Just a suggestion.

Anyone have experience with hostels? I don't care about luxury as much as a clean, safe place to sleep at night.
Thoughts on a guided tour versus just wandering around on your own?

I was pleasantly surprised to find direct flights from Orlando Airport (15 mins from my house) to Dublin for around $850 roundtrip on Aer Lingus during the fall/winter months. I'm trying to decide whether to stick to recognizable chain hotels $100ish per night or find a budget friendlier local hotel.

$850 to DUB is too much. prices will fall. There is nothing wrong with hostels other than they can get noisy but they are reasonably priced. Get a good guide book and ask the locals or hotel/hostel staff for tourist info... and get a metro pass. I've never taken an organized tour of any city in any country.

I've heard that they don't like Americans. That they feel we stick our noses in everyone's business etc. I was told that if you are of Irish ancestry, don't expect to be welcomed like you are Irish. I was told that that is very annoying to the people. Granted, I don't know if this is fact or not, but its something to consider. From what I was told, they aren't real keen on those who chose to migrate?

Irish and English people don't like anyone..especially each other..I wouldn't take it personally..and people that come back to the homeland, are looked at with disdain
