A BIG "Thank You" to all the regular forum members who helped answer questions while I was recently in Ireland for 32 days. I really appreciate your helping out new ones.
Even though I traveled with my laptop there was not always Internet available at the various places I stayed. Although many B&Bs now have free WiFi for their guests. Sometimes it was a few days before I had time to check into the forum and then I had to be quick with my answers.
It is good to be back home again. I am working on a brief trip report to share my new finds with everyone. I will add some annoying bits also that will be a cautionary tale for others. On the whole it was a great trip with some self-catering, a fantastic new B&B that actually takes vouchers and some good new restaurants.
I plan on taking my fall trip this year. I had to cancel last year's fall trip because of a family emergency. I have to make up for lost time.
