Hello again!
Michele organized my 80 year old mother and my trip last summer.  We had a great time and I think my mom wants to go back this summer.  We were extremely fortunate last year with wonderful weather every day.  We loved the Aaran Islands, and the Burren area.  Our itinerary was:
Ballyvaughan
Cashel
Kenmare
Killarney
Dingle
The place we liked best was Dualla house in Cashel.  Our stay there was truly the highlight of our trip.  We loved watching the owner round up his sheep with his dogs.  Only wish I didn't delet the first half of our trip's pictures from my camera. 
We found the larger accommodations (Heatons and Kenmare Lodge) a bit too large and would like to stay with the smaller type places.  That might also help save money.  We also would like to stay away from the more hectic towns like Killarney or Kenmare.  We loved the drive around the Beara P. and loved all the little towns we passed.  We enjoyed the Bru Boru show.
So, is it possible to do Aran islands again and take in the Connemara area? What about staying on the Aran Islands?   Suggested itineraries and/or places to stay? We also found that we prefered the coastal areas. 
Thank you
Caroline
