I also just noticed that Tomaž Muraus is arriving at roughly the same
time (he put an entry on the RideShare page saying he need s ride from
the airport, Friday @ 6pm). Perhaps we should attempt to coordinate
with him as well?

We could travel to Bray station together, and depending on
time/weather/mood finish off the last leg w/ bus & walk, or call for a
ride from our ASF friends.

Thanks,
Troy

Here is a map of the arrivals area of the airport:

http://www.dublinairport.com/Libraries/Maps/Arrivals.sflb.ashx

Typical arrangement with baggage claim, customs, and then shops. I
propose that we meet on the other side of customs, at the Jameson Bar
(though perhaps there won't be time for a drink if we are to keep our
schedule, leaving at 6pm. Depends on how timely our flights/bags are).

Normally I'd tell people to look for the red-head, but in this case,
that probably won't help.. ;)

That is indeed me on the LinkedIn page, though that's a bit of an old
picture. I just snapped a couple new ones with my phone. I'll look
exactly like that -- same clothes, same backpack, etc..

Here are the pics:

http://imgur.com/a/sNNJY

As for phone -- My phone won't be working there (I'll need to pick up
a local SIM @ Vodaphone or similar), so we wouldn't be able to
communicate that way anyhow.

Thanks,
Troy

 Nick, Noirin and I will have the phones and we have enough cars between
 us to pick people up from Bray station. You'll need to call about 30
 minutes before you get to Bray and may have to have a short wait there.

 Looking forward to seeing you :-)

We'll be arriving at the same time (I'm at 17:35). If you'd like, we can
bus/train/walk together.

If you want a lift from Bray (or even the bus stop), give us a call when 
you're a little way out. Otherwise we'll see you when you get there!

I'll be coming seriously late on Friday. I arrive at DUB at about 22:30 
p.m. and plan to take the AirCoach bus from there to Bray after fetching 
the luggage. So I expect to be at Bray either 00:05 or 00:35 Saturday

Hey there,

I walked this yesterday - it is quite pleasant.

The bus fare was E1.85.

Make sure the bus is for Shop River. The other 185's go to Palermo.

The providers with coverage are O2 and vodafone. Apparently O2 is better.
My meteor SIM is only getting 2G at the front of the hostel. WiFi is
currently only from the regional free broadband - hostel system could be
repaired today.

Regards,

Kevin

My travel plan then looks like this:

5:35pm KLM 3159 Arrives at Dublin Airport
6:00pm 747 Bus leaves Airport
6:45pm 747 Bus arrives Central Bus Station
--- Walk to Connolly Station, buy ticket, etc ~10 mins
6:54pm/7:09pm DART leaves for Bray Station
7:39pm/7:54pm DART arrives at Bray Station
8:05pm 185 leaves from Bray Station
8:35pm 185 arrives at "Shop River" stop
--- Walk to Hostel ~40 mins
9:15pm Arrive at Knockree Hostel

Sunset is supposed to occur at 9:15pm, so this works quite well.

Weather should be partly cloudy, with 95% chance of rain between 7pm
and 10pm in Enniskerry, so I might need to bust out my rain jacket on
the walk to the hostel. I'm from Portland, so this is perfectly
acceptable, as it's constantly raining here, and my backpack is
*seriously* waterproof.

This is according to:

I just went through the route and it looks quite pleasant. I think I'm
with Hyram on this one -- I'll walk.

According to Google Maps, it's a 37 minute walk from the last bus stop
to the hostel, through nice rural looking country roads. Sunset is
~9pm, so I should have plenty of time before it gets dark.

I've prepared a map of the route on Google maps. This includes all the
details of navigating from the airport to the hostel, including, links
to bus/train route timetables.
