Josh and I went to the Guiness Museum on our honeymoon. Truly it is the greatest destination in all of Dublin.

Re: Why go to Scotland "... England! thy beauties are tame and domestic
To one who has roved o'er the mountains afar:
Oh for the crags that are wild and majestic!
The steep frowning glories of the dark Loch na Garr."

Tracy had the same stick-shift issue when we went, not to mention the clever location of reverse under the knob of the Corsa (think it's the same car we had). I felt the rental company should also have supplied us with a sign for the window indicating that we were Americans. But, then we might have missed out on our first interaction with the people of Scotland--I refer, of course, to an angry Glaswegian we'd accidentally stalled out in front of flipping us the bird.
