This is the guy we are taking to Ireland. We had a virtual family meeting and the general agreement is that we will have to get him back to the hotel in the afternoon for a nap and back again in the evening before it gets too late. Time will tell.

The afternoon break might happen a couple of times but not many. The evening will come soon since we will always start the day early and pack the day full of activities ... like visiting pubs.

Pub visits are not the only thing we will be doing. There is also a day trip to Kilkenny, along with visits to Dublin Castle, Trinity College, St. James Gate, Jameson Factory, Museum of Modern Art, etc. When we return, we will know a lot about alcohol. Please don't get the wrong impression. This is an educational exercise. We truly want to fully understand Guinness and the best way to start is with a visit to St. James Gate.

I truly think Dad will have a great time on this trip. The overnight flight to Dublin and the adjustment the next day will pass quickly. I think the enjoyment is already beginning.
