If you could be anywhere in the world for the craic, return tickets
and hotel paid where would you go?

I think I would like to see Argentina or Rio. It looks like a cool party.

If you are already out of Éire, where will you be?

Vegas. Hit one of the Irish bars in the casinos for a while and just enjoy the magic that is Las Vegas.

Montserrat

Calypso and Reggae instead of Jigs and Reels.

Little possibility of rain during the parade. The volcano might erupt though.

Seem's like great craic.

Here's some publicity: "St Patrick's Festival is a weeklong celebration highlighting Montserrat's local culture and Irish heritage that culminates with St. Patrick's Day on March 17, also a commemoration of the slave uprising on that very day in 1768.

During the St. Patrick's Festival celebrations there's a simulated Slave Village with traditional local food on sale (the time-honored 'Slave Feast'), along with a revival of traditional games from yesteryear like hand-made spinning tops, story telling, and a kite flying festival.

Local culture and music are in focus and you'll be sure to see the Masqueraders (masked street dancers in traditional costumes, tall head dresses and whips) perform, prancing to the lively sound of fife and drum: a blend of African and European elements forged out of slavery. String band music, a traditional combination of instruments includes the banjo, 'boompipe', guitar, mouth organ, triangle, 'shak shak' and bass drum are also on show, along with steel band (steel drum) performances"

Yeah Mon.

I was in Buenos Aires for Paddy's Day in 2009 in an Irish bar. The local television crew were there and they asked if any of us Irish spoke Spanish (at the time I could string about two sentences together - I knew the absolute basics of the basics) and completely baloobafied to the max, I volunteered. There's photos of me talking very intensely to the camera gesticulating frantically but I don't remember anything I said. 20 minutes later they found me asleep on the toilet of the Irish pub.

I'd give someone a kidney if I could get my hands on that footage. Good to know I did my bit to compound the stereotype internationally.

Yeah I'd a great time (I went home and slept the drunkness off and went out again later that night). Great night life there anyway but 1 million Irish emigrated there in the early 20th century, so it's celebrated. People get really into it.

Best Paddy's day I had was at the full moon party in Haad Rin many many years ago. Would love to do it again but it seems to have lost its charm.

I will actually be in Boston around the time, not on the day itself though. Would have been cool to see how the yanks celebrate it.

I'd love to be in New York. I'll be in Edinburgh though and I'm looking forward to it!

Ihatecuddles · 06-03-2014 01:01AM

Never been anywhere but Dublin on Paddy's Day.

Would love to be in Florida or Vegas for it!

OAOB · 06-03-2014 01:09AM

In colombia for it. Have the flag packed and am ready to represent our little island

Id say new york would be cool but I hear the parade is a bit boring.
