Or so I wish.

I received the most amazing news from a friend that she was assigned for a three-month work/vacation time for work at Ireland. Ever since we watched the movie PS I Love You, we have been dreaming of being able to go there and get lucky and meet the (Irish) man of our dreams. Of course, this would never happen because we are both (very happily) married but it never hurts to plan and dream impossible dreams.

Since she will be arriving alone by next week, her boss hired a Dublin car rental for her to use on location so she can mobile. It has been easy to hire one because everything can be done online. The Dublin Airport car hire can done directly online.
I really don’t know if she will be able to drive there, but right now we are going through the rules of the road of the country.

Here are some special considerations:

* The first thing to remember is that you will be driving on the left hand side of the road. If you are traveling from the UK this is no problem! However if you are coming from the USA and many other countries you will have to adapt to driving on the left.

* When driving on Irish roads, and when it is safe to do so, overtake on the right hand side only.

* Please note that all distances and speed limits are measured in metric (kilometers per hour) in the Republic of Ireland compared to the UK and the USA. Bear this in mind if you are going across the border into Northern Ireland. Road distances on signs are measured in kilometers in the Irish Republic too.

* Speed limit on Irish motorways is 120 km/h. Speed limits on National roads is either 80km/h or 100 km/h but pay heed when you pass through a village, town or urban areas the speed limit is usually reduced to 50 or 60 km/h.
