Denise was an uplifting person to encounter for my first stay in my European travels. She has traveled Europe herself and lived in Italy which happened to be my next stop. Laytown is a place by the beach to have a relaxed experience especially if you're just coming off a flight from abroad. I rented a car so transportation wasn't a problem for me, but there are several buses that will take you into Dublin. It's a great location to see the northern part of Ireland. I traveled anywhere from Slane Castle to the northwestern shores of Ireland. I stayed an entire week.
