Make sure that you tour the Guiness brewery while you are in Dublin. It was one of the better tours/sites that I went to while I was in Europe. Where do you plan on going?

wow congrats on the ticket purchase! you're totally invited to budapest after mid january...if you want a free place to crash come a few weeks later.

i second the guiness brewery recommendation and for hostels i recommend abraham house or barnacles
