Lat - I've just been talking extensively to JAP.

He has been giving me lessons on where I want to be to get to the airport in time for my 7:00 am flight Jul 8.

It was decided I should stay not in Dublin city center, but in Malahide, like 15 minutes from the airport. Many B&Bs for alot less than any of the airport hotels plus this would enable a great place to have drinks.

He said he would post but since he hasn't yet, here is where I think he said would be a good place to meet:

I thought the place he said had a longer name, but maybe it was just his accent

Post and let us know what you think. This place would be alot closer to you than "downtown" Dublin, and I may even be up for picking you up from your hotel as I should be back down there by early afternoon.
