Hotels

For both hotels, breakfast is included.

The Mespil Hotel  is located in "Georgian Dublin" overlooking the Grand Canal and only a 15-20 minute walk from St. Stephen's Green, a lovely park in Dublin. Bus stops are nearby so no problem with getting to other areas of Dublin.Free WiFi is available so I'll be able to use our Netbook and keep this blog up-to-date while in Dublin. 

Our hotel in Paris is in the Montmarte area, close to a Metro stop. It's a small place, but not a big deal for us since we're sleeping/showering there and spending most of our time seeing the sites of Paris. No reason to spend a lot of money when we're not there very much.
