Liam, It's not an every day affair. If I didn't blow it all in May looking for, and finding long, lost relatives in Galway, only to get back to Chgo, and not have them get back in touch with me, I'd have my plane ticket and room booked for attending the Galway Races.

All things being equal, it can also turn into a "rip-off". The taxi drivers know how to charge the extra few bob, the drinks go up in price all around town, admission into the course is not cheap. At the end of the day, one had better be flush going to Galway.
