Another travel-related question

DH and I purchased our plane tickets last night and on our way back home we have a stop in Dublin with a 9 hour layover. Are you allowed to leave the airport during a layover? Please say yes because 9 hours is a loooong time to be stuck in an airport! Also will we be going through customs when we stop in Ireland from Barcelona or only when we get back into the states and about how long should we estimate for that process?

    Yes, you can definitely leave the airport!  Take the time to do a quick run into the city (if I remember correctly, it's not too far away).  You'll probably have to go through an immigration check, and since you're not on an EU passport the line may be a bit longer, but how long it takes depends on how busy they are.  I don't remember it being any longer than 30 min, and probably much less than that.

    Definitely get out for a few hours! What time does your flight arrive in Dublin (it would suck if it was 1 am)?

     Yes, kaesha. It would suck if it was 1am. It's equally as sucky that it's in fact 12:35am haha The only things open will be pubs I'm sure, but hey...when you're in Ireland! ;)

    Erm... you know most pubs in the UK and Ireland close a lot earlier, right? Like 12:30 is the latest they stay open. You might be able to go clubbing though! Most clubs close at 3 am. It would be cool to go find somewhere to watch the sunrise.

    Oh yikes, that's unfortunate!  I'm sure if you go down into the Temple Bar, you might find something that's open, but that's a lot of time to kill out and about overnight!

    You mean to tell me Ireland folk don't get down like that?! I had no idea. Ah well. If we're allowed to leave we might just use the time wisely to take a snooze in a nearby motel. With all the sights and activities we're trying to fit into just 8 days the likelihood of me actually feeling human enough by the time we arrive in Dublin was probably slim anyway.
