We are just back from an Egan family Rally in Ireland. It was great to see old friends and relatives. Our international chief, Michael J. S. Egan, planned and executed a wonderful programme of events, meals, transportation and lodgings for about 100 assorted Egans from all over the world.
As word for US travelers, though - stay home! The euro is about $1.8 - meaning when things cost 1 euro it is about 2 dollars. And not only that, the prices in Ireland are jacked up. For instance, a McDonald's Happy Meal in Dallas is about $2.15. In Limerick, a McDonald's Happy Meal costs 4 euro - almost 8 dollars! I didn't see one price that was less than 1 euro - even a pack of gum.
If foreign travelers come to America they can really buy lots of stuff at a great price.
