Since it's been 5 or MORE years since most of us were on the road, we thought we would provide a few tips and suggestions for your suitcase! Also, we've included some that are specific to the event.
Let's talk about Irish weather for a moment! Discussing the weather is practically a national pastime! You can experience 4 seasons in one day, and they say, "if you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes!!" That is how fast things can change, and layers are your friend!!!
In the second part of July, daytime highs typically hover between 16–28 °C (60–82 °F), with average monthly highs around 18.1 °C, and nighttime lows usually dip to 11–12 °C (52–54 °F). July is fairly wet, and humidity is high—which keeps the air feeling damp.
We suggest you check your cell phone provider's data plan and fees for international travel, if those will apply.
Wi-fi is readily available in public places, including transportation, and on campus at the universiy. We strongly suggest downloading WhatsApp and joining our Broadcast group (link is in your confirmation email).
Please review the additional activities you have booked and pack any items needed specifically for those.
Should you need to resend yourself your confirmation email to review your booking, visit the drop down arrow to the right of the word "CLOSED" and enter the email you used to book when prompted.
