After a successful kick off to The Gathering when Notre Dame played Navy in Dublin, Ireland during the Emerald Isle Classic on September 1, 2012 it sounds like Penn State wants to follow suit.

Day 1-Arrive Dublin, Co. Dublin

I would hear Céad Míle Fáilte (A Hundred Thousand Welcomes), as I would arrive in the early morning and take the AirCoach from Dublin Airport to Grafton Street.  From here, I would walk around the corner along Pearse Street to Trinity Capital, my city central accommodations for the night.  I would check in and drop off my bags, while I waited a few hours for my room.
