    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    We are thinking of going North to the Mournes and up the Antrim Coast. A little break ex Dublin.

    Have been uuup there before, but haven't driven around just got the train to Belfast, and enjoyed it immensely!

    I hope some of you Northerners might tell me what the "must sees" are, Thanks!

    Pity about the Sterling/Euro difference, but we will cope. Any of you thinking of coming South now that your pound will buy you a lot more here?

    According to some professor on radio 4 the other day, it's impossible to predict the weather more than a week away. So someone's wrong.
    Bara Best also said that on his Facebook page.

    What are resort fees?

    Some of the US states have a room tax. Different class of hotels have different fees as well. It's a per room, per night tax that has to be paid locally. Mine is now $26 per night (it's gone up since I booked :(). I think Vegas ranges from $10 - $32.

    I have no idea when it kicked off, but it's been around for a while. It looks like 2008 was the first year from what little I can find. For comparison, Excalibur was $4.50 per night in 2010, now it's $26 (and there is 12% tax on top of that!!).

    Current list of LV charges on THIS PAGE, and lots on Wikipedia.
