The Mrs. and I are planning to spend most of the month of April Aught-Nine in London and Dublin.  Here's the plan:

1 Apr - arrive at London Gatwick on the red-eye from PHL

1 Apr - 13 Apr - London, London, London.... maybe a few day trips here and there

13 Apr - Hop on a train at Euston Station for a journey across the south of England and into Wales.  Pick up the ferry across the Irish Sea at Holyhead.  Arrive in Dun Laoghaire near Dublin.

13 Apr - 21 April - Dublin, Dublin, Dublin, Guinness, Guinness, Guinness etc.

22 Apr - Depart Dublin for PHL

We've already booked our flights and are in the process of booking this great looking "penthouse apartment".  Incredibly, the apartment rental is going to come to something like $US130 per night which is amazing compared to hotel rooms in London.  We're planning on doing the apartment thing in Dublin as well.

So since this is our first visit to either place, I'd be interested to hear any advice, comments, caveats, "must-sees", "don't-bothers", etc. than any of you might have.
