My youngest child is spending the semester at Trinity College in Dublin. For various reasons, we are unable to pay her a visit until the first week in December. It seems like a pretty bleak time to go - with eight hours of daylight and probably rainy weather. My thought is to fly into Dublin on Friday and then fly to London on Tuesday, spending the rest of the time in London and environs. I am fairly certain that my child will be happy to have us out of her hair after a couple of days and I enjoy London and have always wanted to see it decorated for Christmas. The alternative would be to explore a bit of the Irish countryside - I'm skeptical that this would be all that enjoyable given the limited daylight and nasty weather.
Does my plan to spend 3-4 days in Dublin and 4-5 days in London seem to be a good one?
