Dear Michele and friends,

I already have a car paid for that I am picking up after 3 nights in Dublin.  I made my pick-up location at Dublin airport because that location opens earlier in the day and I figured this way we can get an earlier start ( We're going to Glendalough and then heading down to Dungarvan and would like to arrive at Dungarvan as early as possible).

My question is this:

Does it make sense to go all the way out to the Dublin airport to pick up a car at 8am rather than just pick it up in town at a more convenient location a little later in the morning, like 9:30?

Will it get me on the road to Glendalough that much earlier that it would be worth the trouble of dragging ourselves out of bed at 6AM and rushing in a cab out to the airport?  Or should I just relax and stay in town until the city location opens?

Another thing is that this is a Wednesday morning and it looks from the map I have like the airport is north of the city and we are travelling south.

So you can see I'm questioning the wisdom of this airport idea.

Any words of advice?

Thanks

Kevin
