Belfast or Bust?

I'm trying to talk Sheila into going to Belfast to see the Belfast Giants.

They only play in Northern Ireland and the UK, so Belfast is the closest place to us. There are other sites to see as well, such as The W5 Museum and the Titanic Museum.

To be fair, there have been some recent troubles in Belfast.

If anyone has any thoughts or ideas, please let me know!

  2. Go! I spent two weeks there back in the early 90s when things were much more volatile and it was fine. it's all relative -- visiting Chicago these days is far more dangerous than anything you're going to experience in Ireland.

    Belfast is such a different city than Dublin that is iinteresting to have a chance to see the differences. Also, you must go to Giants Causeway while you're up there!

  3. i agree! the 'troubles' now are definitely not what they used to be...they are just protesting their flag not flying 24/7 at city hall. shouldnt cause too much disruption :)
