Hello, my first posting on your forum!  My fiance and I will be making our first trip to Ireland within 2 weeks.  We are really excited.  We will be going along with his 3 brothers & wives (2 couples, 1 single).  We've been working on an itinerary and have a decent idea on where we're going and where we'll be staying.  However, we have 1 day which is just driving me crazy.  We'll be arriving in Dublin on 9/24 and will be staying there for 2 nights to see the city and sleep off some of the jet lag.  On the 26, we will be leaving and heading for Kinsale!  One of his brothers made reservations for an Inn in Kinsale on the 26 and arrangements for us to have lunch at the clubhouse at Old Head on the 27 so it appears we have to make this long trek in one day.  I have mentioned how long this trip will take, but his 2 older brothers are  determined that this is the way to go.  So what I'd like to know is how long this will take (I'm looking at least 6 hours) and the best route to go.  We've already made reservations for an Inn in Kilarney for the 27 & 28.  I suppose we could make some changes as long as we make them within the cancellation window.  Trying to plan a trip with this number of people who all have different ideas is to say the least a little frustrating!
