He is one of four Americans that have been invited to play with the best 14 year olds in the world. Me and the wifey are looking into going over to watch him play and check out the city.... Any advice on what we must see or do while we are there?? Thanks in advance, aj TBB 1

If your into history theres quite a good few places you could visit including Kilmanhaim Jail where many leaders of the 1916 Rising were executed by the British. Theres also Dublin Castle and St Patricks Catherdral you can visit along with several museums. Trinity College is also a great place to visit as the Book of Kells is available to see in Trinity's libary. You should defintely check out O'Connell Street where the large Spire in based and the GPO is there too. Grafton Street/Henry Street would be the best places for shopping. St Stephens Green is a great little area to go to too. Then theres temple bar where is something like 20 bars in the small street where many tourists go to but its expensive as fuck. You can also visit Pheonix Park which is the largest public park in Europe that over 7km in size which is great for bringing kids too and Dublin Zoo is located within Pheonix Park too. And of course theres the Guiness Storehouse which is available to the public and there's a huge tower within the storehouse which looks over Dublin City which is meant to be excellent. Seems like I am going on forever here but if I am around Dublin in July I could possibly meet up with you and we will go for a few pints JAYsus_NL 1 Awards
