Hooray! Finally ran down where I'll be staying in each place in Ireland. For those who're interested (but more for my personal benefit if I lose my printed itinerary), here's where I'll be and a quick summary what I'm planning to see.

Oh, and if you want a postcard but forget to tell me your MSC, please send it to my caltech email address.

Take care, and I'll see you guys in October!
