  I like the sounds of this. 9 days would be long enough to hang in spain for most of the time and then possibly hop over to Italy, right?

[420seriouscat69]

I've never been interested in France. Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Greece, etc. Those places sound and look awesome on TV.

I've only been to Italy out of that list but I've put them all as extremely more fun/interedting than Ireland

Do either of you speak Spanish, Italian, or Smelly Butthole?

I know a little Spanish, but that's about it. It's going to be hard, isn't it?

Nah, you'll survive. It will just make it more of an adventure.

But if you go to Spain and don't go to Barcelona, you're making a terrible bistec.

It works kinda well-ish in a bind, but "awesome"? Really?

[Spracne]

That said, yes. Download the Google Translate app and download the offline dictionaries for whatever languages you'll need.

and i don't speak any spanish but figured it out just fine

[8manpick]

I had a fantastic time in Ireland.  Great place to go with buds and check out neighborhood bars and restaurants.  Catch a rugby, Gaelic football, or hurling match. Did almost zero sightseeing other than Jameson tour.  Might not be everyone's favorite, but I really enjoyed the people there.

wacky of the countries you mentioned, i have been to ireland, germany x2, switzerland, & france. ama

[420seriouscat69]

  I feel like I could save Ireland for a Fanning Family trip and go do all the ancestry, castle, pubs, etc. stuff another time. Although, it's still #1 on the bucket list. My uncles really into that stuff and it would probably mean more.

Europe over the holidays seems like a blast and it would be pretty relaxing for once.
