8 Day Honeymoon Trip. Itinerary Help Needed!
Permalink  

Thank you again Bob, Michelle and everyone for the help.

I don't think we will be bothering with taking special pick pocket protections, other than the obvious ones to make sure not everything is in the same place, etc. Those darned money belts seem like way to much a bother. I'm way less likely to loose a crossbody bag, since that's what I'm used to carrying around anyways.

Bob, thanks for the ferry info. I sort of assumed that the ferry wasn't exactly from Dingle to Doolin. I'll check out the website. Much appreciated!

And thanks to everyone for the acommodation reccomendations, however we have had our reservations arranged for our hotels for quite some time. We decided to stay in Ballsbridge at the Roxford Lodge in Dublin, and are planning to make use of public transit to get into Dublin City. In Cork we are staying at the Garnish House, in Dingle at the Blooming Wildflower Cottage, and in Doolin at Kate's Place.

Michael, I appreciate your offer of your guest house, but we prefer to stay in Cork City itself so that we can walk and explore as much as possible. And yes, I am not ashamed to admit, that I do want to kiss the Blarney stone. I feel as though I need to do one overly touristy thing every trip I take, and for this one I guess that is it

Bob,

I have had so many people telling me that I am wrong because Google maps says it is so! The big news is that Google maps is often wrong. I remember a couple of years ago someone input NY to Ireland in Google maps direction finder. Someone at Google must have a sense of humor because it said: swim 3,000 miles to France. Take the ferry to Ireland. That was quickly taken down but it just goes to show you not to believe everything you read on the Internet.

I'm back with one more question. I'm curious about the weather over in Ireland right now and what the heck we should pack to wear? We leave in just 9 days (OMG!) I can see from online weather reports that highs are in the low to mid 50s F. I'm wondering if we'll be fine with long sleeve shirts and our windbreakers, or if we should plan to bring more of a heavier weight coat than a windbreaker? It also looks like the evening temps are a bit on the chilly side right now. Would it be a good idea to bring along a hat and some gloves just in case?

Thanks again :)

Amy,

I always take a scarf, hat and gloves. You just never know when you will need them. In Ireland layering works best. Do you have a sweater or fleece you can wear under your windbreaker? That will in effect turn it into a heavier coat. But you will be able to remove it if the weather warms up. If you live in a very warm place like Florida then perhaps you do need a heavier coat. I find that my Floridian friends feel the cold if it dips below 80!

Ireland is a great place to pick up a new sweater- I'm gathering a nice collection!

I'm from Pennsylvania, so the climate seems like it is pretty similar. I am thinking that I'll probably do as you suggested Michele, take some heavier layers to wear under the windbreaker, and some warm gloves, hat, scarf to wear just incase. I really don't want to lug a coat around...  And like Roy suggeseted. I won't need much of an excuse to buy a new sweater aww

Amy,

As Roy suggested, you can help the Irish economy and warm yourself up by purchasing a sweater while there. Plus you will have a great souvenir.

Michele
