I agree that this is not ideal, but I was in much the same position in Paris: no hotels in my price range near the congress center so I had to commute halfway across Paris every day. (And the food was expensive pretty much everywhere.) It seems that all or at least most hotels in Dublin are in the city center, which means a significant bus or taxi ride back and forth. However, Dublin has lots of bed and breakfasts (I think I saw half of them on my first trip to Dublin, when I didn't book a place to sleep in advance and it turned out to be the date of a delayed saint Patrick's day because of the foot and mouth disease). You may be able to find one closer to the conference hotel. For anyone who will be staying some extra days I suggest doing that closer to the city center, which will probably save you money and that way it's easy to explore Dublin by foot, which is absolutely worth a blister or two. And I highly recommend the train ride between Dublin and Belfast. _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org http://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
