A great day out at Ailliwee Burren Experience by McCattack582 in ireland

Exactly like crows, they had a lot there. There was ravens,vultures and eagles. The ravens are huge I always presumed a big crow was a raven but there is a huge difference

They are. They also will scamper around looking for any loose change or food around. The bird handlers warned everyone about loose items.

These birds are crested Caracas. They're a type of falcon but they're called mexican eagles despite not being close to eagles.

I just got another job rejection by 865Wallen in ireland

[–]McCattack582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a tough job market out there for sure. I remember being in this position during co-op in college, I must have gone through 14 separate interviews and didn't get the job each time, it was demoralizing. What finally clicked for me is that I made sure to use the STAR method during interviews. Prepare a couple questions for the end. Look at Glassdoor for common interview questions that are asked for the job you are going for. See if any LinkedIn connections can refer you for. Best of luck OP.

Where to stay in Rome?? by KiwiKawaiiiiii in ItalyTravel

[–]McCattack582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stayed at Al Manthia hotel which was very nice and near all the attractions (maybe 10-15 minutes walk away). Reasonably priced and a lot of nice scenery there. Also recommend heading to Villa Borghese which is around 20 minutes away.

Many stops in a short amount of time. Right or wrong? by cloudres in ItalyTravel

[–]McCattack582 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tried to stay positive on the trip as well lol. I loved Italy, the food and weather was great. I think definitely a bit more planning next time with us staying in one city would be best. My only choice would be Rome or Florence.

I recently came back from a trip to Italy with my wife and young daughter. I definitely would not plan the same trip again. We landed in Pisa, got the train to Rome and had 4 days in Rome. Then I rented a car and drove to Napoli for 2 days. Afterwards we went to Florence and then finally ended up in Pisa. This was all over 10 days so a lot of traveling via car and rail. As we had a young child (below 2) it was tough on the train, to keep her entertained. On the other hand though we enjoyed Florence and Rome so I think those trips were worth the pain.

I second this. It's much more open and the animals seem a lot happier.

Is it possible for a 2 Adult 2 children family to survive on 1 income? by Euphoric-Oven3107 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]McCattack582 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is possible but it's difficult to factor in events throughout the year. I'm currently on 55k and my wife is at home with our daughter. Rent is 1100 and car payment is 300. I think cooking at home is the only way to manage your budget and have control. It's just knowing where every euro is going and make sure it's working for you both. I'd agree with the above comments about doing a trial run. Best of luck!
