Thanks guys, this seems like a really great community!

Well, short answer: I don't know where I'm going. I know the beginning and the end and other than that I refuse to plan anything.

The long answer: I'm flying to Dublin, a night or two kicking around Temple Bar, then taking a bus to Rosslare and a ferry to Roscoff. After that, wherever the fancy takes me, maybe a whirlwind drive, one pub night in a bunch of capitols, or end up somewhere for days, I'm keeping open for anything. Towards the end I'm going to stay with a friend in Germany for a few days (rather than try to get a hostel bunk during the World Cup) during which I'll hopefully get to see the US play. Then a few more days with my friend, fly JetEasy to Liverpool for a night or two, back to Dublin, and home. (If I can come up with the extra money, I might stay for another two or three weeks after my current departure, which would be great.)
