Day 4, skip Rock of Cashel and add it to day 5. ROC and Cahir Castle are only about 12 miles from each other.

Day 6, add Ross Castle.

Besides what Judy suggested: Day 4 - if time permits Kells Priory (always open). Here is Corey's free walking tour of Kilkenny: http://www.knockahopple.com/downloadkilkenny.html

It sure is and we sure will.

I made the mistake of mentioning to Colleen that once we get back we can offer up our Ordnance map book and let's just say we were not on the same page with that one. Apparently my wife believes that will make a nice keepsake along with the binder full of stuff she has printed out and Michelle's book and everything else... Of course she is right. What was I thinking.
I am hoping she doesn't get too attached to the myfi....

Another nice keepsake for your wife's binder would be a sample of each of the Irish coins. We have the one cent through two euro mounted on page one of our keepsake book. Just remember not to turn in all your coins at the airport before leaving Ireland. Keep your samples separate as you collect them.

I wish I had thought of collecting the coins years ago with the old money. I only have a few of past memory coins.
