I agree Linda, the roundabouts are ridiculously common over here..not to mention 'mini' roundabouts which you will find on side roads at the end of many streets! Rule of thumb is always give way to traffic approaching from the right on any roundabout and don't worry if there's honking of horns behind you from impatient people. Take your time, gather your thoughts and off you go...to the next one!! lol.. Better to be 10 minutes late in this life than 30years too early in the next! Hope you have a great time and as I said in a previous email if you require any help or information don't hesitate to contact me.

You don't need a lot of cash. Plastic works and unless you are in a rural area, there are ATMs. The advice about roundabouts was very good. I had forgotten about these. We have them in New England, but not in Pennsylvania, where I was raised. Neither I nor my husband knew what they were till one day we were barrelling up Route 2, exploring New England, when we saw the sign. "What's that?" he asked. "I don't know," said I. Round and round we went and ended up heading back up the way we came. They are more confusing in Ireland since you are on the wrong side and going the wrong way. Why are we trying to make cellphoning while driving illegal and not roundabouts???

A question for Sharon in Belfast I just remembered that we found out that the M-1 and maybe all the HWYs have cameras on the tall light poles to record the speeders.........they film you and your lisc number and send you a ticket in the mail. My husband was unnerved by this knowledge and was tryig to get his seatbelt on as he left the rental car lot and turned tooo short and clipped off the side mirror. on a bus.....LOL then didnt menton the incident until we were on down the road and saw a FORD dealer???? He says we have to go in here??My question why went unanswered. Then he came out with a side mirror and told me.......I had not noticed the missing mirror.......NOW if I had done that.....we would still be hearing of my reckless driving. Drive careful John they are watching you.
