Travelling...

Something different. I try to hop over to mainland Europe and looking for a flight, I was amazed how cheap they are compared with a year ago.
As a professional commuter – once – I never forget to honor rules as: look and compare (priceline.com as a starter), look for connecting flights (sometimes they offer a good deal), take round trips, travel light. Consider to take a train in Europe. There are some cheap formulas and it goes fast and civilized. Something else than the 5-hour trip between Dublin and Cork in coaches almost 80 years old.
But I repeat: travel light.

And try to take a nap during travelling instead of beers. Well, the second is not excluding the first.

My travel tip

One of the things I love the most is travelling.
Not only to Galway to team up with Nick L., another fallen angel once upon a time and a lovely fellow to have a drink with, but to other countries, too.
Before I settled down on the Emerald Isle, travelling was a kind of natural habit.
And soon we’re on our way again. Madrid is the destination.
Whenever I go to cities, I book everything myself. Search robots are ok but not for this stuff. Better to look for a 4 or 5 star hotel yourself– if you like a good night sleep without the buzzing street life –. Take the phone and inform if they have no special rates available during the weekends. Normally they have as they are nearly empty because businessmen run for their home turf on Fridays. So rates are very low – almost comparable with hostels or B&B’s.
