I would much rather this type of trip and see a foreign country with plenty of history than going to say Las Vegas or Houston.


I don't necessarily disagree that going to Las Vegas or Houston isn't overly exciting. But if I'm traveling to Ireland (or really any foreign country), I don't really want to use any of my time there to experience something I can experience at home. Somewhat akin to traveling to a different city and trying to find the best "cajun" restaurant to eat jambalaya.

I understand what you are saying. I have done this type of trip. We were able to see so much and do many things. The football game is literally at the end of an 8 day trip. We did a lot. The game starts at 6 pm local time. There was a pep rally the day before. A welcome party at Guinness Storehouse. A whiskey tour experience in Scotland. Went to St Andrews for a few hours. Toured castles in both Scotland and Ireland. The football game was at the end and we had done pretty much everything we wanted to. It did not take away from the experience of a foreign country. Ate fantastic food. There is a part of Dublin that was decked out in Nebraska colors and a part of Dublin in Northwestern colors so it was cool to see them embrace the college football atmosphere.
