QuickHits: Ireland in the Summer Edition

I’m lucky enough to be in Ireland most of June. I’m technically here for work, but will use most of my free time to see all the country has to offer. Needless to say, blogging will be sparse this month. But I already have some quality guests posts lined up for ya. And I may pop in for a bit myself to share some photos and the QuickHits.

Hits that be quick…

While you’re there, be sure to try a Caffrey’s, which was one of my favorite beers when I was living in England (you can’t get it in the US). And of course, the Guinness is required!

Mr. ToughMoneyLove June 3, 2009 at 11:38 pm: Ireland is a fabulous place – went there right after law school. I have read that it has since become the most expensive country in Europe. BTW – Thanks for the link.
