Hello
We have our itinerary partially planned, however, I could use some suggestions:


This is definate:

Arrive Sat Sept 29th to Dublin~ stay for 3 nights  We bought the Dublin pass and hop on hop off bus pass.

Thursday:  Head to Monaghan  We have tickets to see Christy Moore and are spending the night

Sat: Back to Dublin   We have tickets to see The Police  Spend Night

Sun:  Leave
Need suggestions:

Tue -Thurs    We were thinking of going to Donegal from Dublin .  Question should we rent a car right from Dublin OR  fly and cut out some driving time and rent a car in Donegal..not sure if we would be missing alot by not driving.

Then we would explore Donegal and spend the night somewhere in the area , then on Wed. head down towards Sligo.  The reason for Sigo is to spend the night in Markree Castle for the night. The next day head to Monaghan.

Friday we were thinking of going from Monaghan towards the coast towards Dundalk or Drogheda and spending the night in one of those areas before heading back to Dublin on Sat.

Anyway, if you have any other ideas, the only plans that are set in stone is first 2 days Dublin and Thursday Monaghan.  We thought this may be an interesting route, but I am looking opinions and suggestions!

Thanks so much for your help!
Jeannie

Jeannie,

I am trying to decipher your itinerary. Is this what it looks like?

Sun, Mon, Tues Sept 29 & Oct 1 & 2: Dublin

Wed Oct 3: Donegal

Thurs Oct 4: Monaghan

Fri Oct 5: Dundalk or Drogheda

Sat Oct 6: Dublin

At the beginning of your message you say 3 nights in Dublin and at the end you say 2. That is confusing. Please clarify so we can help.

Michele

Jeannie, 

You are trying to do too much in too short a time. Also at the end of Sept the days are getting shorter. You will be in the car the whole time. Why don't you just spend a couple of days in Monaghan? From there you can to easy day trips around the area. It will save your being on the road the whole trip.

Also, consider Carlingford toward the end of your trip in addition to Drogheda or Dundalk. What were you planning on doing on that day?
