Thank you! I'm sure Ireland as a whole will steal my heart as well once I set my eyes upon it!

My husband was adamant about no over-nights on islands. (I think he was concerned about leaving the rental car on the mainland.). But we will definetly let the weather guide us.

I can imagine you are quite correct. I would have liked to have stayed over night at either island. I will share your words with him. Perhaps next time! We have our stays already booked. Where we will be at when we are nearest these islands has already taken a non-refundable deposit. Glenabbey Castle Hotel. Would you like to hear my whole itinerary? The stays are already booked but perhaps you can make some suggestions. (I made it myself.)

Yes. We were just going to go to Rossaveal (for Aran Islands) on our way to Salthill. We would drive up another day to go to Cleggans Pier from Clifden.

Tink,

Perhaps it would be best to take a look at your itinerary. 

A day trip to Inis Mor would be a stretch, if you are planning to accomplish it enroute to Salthill from Clifden. It would require a very early start from Clifden and a late in to Salthill.

Slan Beo,

I just got home and actually viewed this on my desktop.  I did not realize I reversed my word/name order.  Ooops!  I'm glad that you still could tell where I meant!!

Okay- here is my itinerary.
Day one- arrive in Dublin. If we feel up to it visit Bru na Boinne or Hill of Tara on the way to Trim, County Meath. Stay in Trim Castle Hotel. We don't want to drive too far on day one. Country small roads - no problem. Hubby grew up on roads smaller then that in Kentucky. Driving on the right- first time... possible problem. :)
Day two- leave Trim for Clifden, AbbeyGlen Castle Hotel. (AKA GlenAbbey Castle Hotel- snicker!) If we feel up to it check out Clifden.
Day three- stay in Clifden. Maybe visit Inishbofin OR Kylemore Abbey Gardens OR Craigh Patrick OR Sky Road.
Day four- stay in Clifden. Maybe visit Inishbofin OR Kylemore Abbey Gardens OR Craigh Patrick OR Sky Road.
Day five- leave Clifden for Salthill. On the way stop at Rossaveal to take the ferry to Inish Mor. Stay in Marless House B&B.
Day six- stay in Salthill. Explore Connemara NP or Galway. Maybe both?
Day seven- leave Salthill for Doolin. Along the way visit the Aillwee Caves. Visit the Cliffs of Moher visitor center, the Cliffs. Possibly take the boat ride at the base of the Cliffs. Hopefully have a sunset picnic at the cliffs. Stay in Daly House B&B. These Cliffs are a big thing for me. They are the ONLY thing that I will be sorrowful if I do not get to see them!
Day eight- leave Doolin for Dingle. If any energy visit a pub or two! I'm not saying that we won't be visiting a pub before then but I don't know how adventurous this drive will be. I think that we will take the Ferry route way to get here. Stay in Pax Guest House.
Day nine- stay in Dingle. Enjoy Dingle. I hear that this is a 'thin place' and I hope to experience that here.
Day ten- leave Dingle for Adare. Enjoy Adare. Possibly head to Ennis for some of the Fleu Nua or the Burren in Bloom Festival in the Burren. Stay in Adare Country House.
Day eleven- stay in Adare. (I have heard that Adare isn't much to see. I am using it as a nice base.) Maybe visit some of the gardens of the Limerick Trail and/or visit Ennis for some of the Fleu Nua and/or visit the Burren.
Day twelve- stay in Adare. Maybe visit some of the gardens of the Limerick Trail and/or visit Ennis for some of the Fleu Nua and/or visit the Burren.
Day thirteen- leave Adare for Maynooth. Stay in Aaronbeg B&B. We have been told to at least take the bus into Dublin. I don't mind taking the bus in for dinner or a small thing. I know that I cannot begin to see Dublin in an evening. But just a little touch of my toe into the city would be nice. A recommendation of one attraction or a nice place to eat would be appreciated.
Day fourteen- leave Maynooth for Dublin Airport for a flight that leaves in the early afternoon.
wherever you see and/or it is based on weather/getting lost or loss of energy.

That's a great list. Thank you. We choose Naybooth because it was only thirty minutes from Dublin airport. We would have rather stayed in the northern area right above Dublin but like Dublin itself... There was no room at the inn! We could not afford what was left Everyone came back with we are booked for that one day. I imagine it is because of Obama and the Queen are coming. I know there is nothing really in Maynooth (sorry if anyone who lives in Maynooth or really likes it but I can't find anything.) Hence the bus into Dublin. The owners of the Aaronbeg sounded very nice when I called them with my credit card.
