* For general information on Ireland, I recommend you visit the official U.S. government website at www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/3180.htm#travel. There is a wealth of information there that you will find interesting.

Other things to think about
* Ireland uses 220 power, not 110. Even if you take power convertible equipment (your computer for example) you will need a plug adapter. These can be purchased in a kit through Wal–Mart, Brookstones, and other large chain stores as well as at the airport.

Travel Information
You are responsible for making your own travel arrangements. Do not buy a one–way ticket, even if you are not sure when you want to return home. Most foreign countries require visitors to have a round–trip ticket before they are allowed to enter.
