Money trees would be an amazing find. I haven't done the pools thing so I can't help you there Maria, sorry.
Did you get a nice hotel lilmiss? My boyfriend took me to Dublin last year, he booked a really nice hotel, but it was so nice I felt really out of place. I wanted to do the peoples job for them, I'm not good at letting people do things for me. I'm so common at heart
