Hello to all and especially another one L Michele, we are a special club. Off to Ireland with 3 friends April 15-29. I have viewed Ireland from 30,000 feet many times and now I get to land there! Arriving Dublin Easter morning (St Pat's Cathedral if we are not too groggy) and staying for 2 nights. Pick up car @airport the 18th and heading to Glendalough (Riverside B&B) for one night. We are all quite flexible about this trip since it is our first and this is where I need help. Where might we stay for the second night as we head to the Dingle Penninsula? It may well be our only inland stay. On the 20th travel to Dingle for a 3 night stay, recommendations? On the 23rd head N-NW Cliffs of Moher etc. stay? On to Galway/Connemara/Westport area for another 3 night stay. Been looking into staying and hiking on Achill as well. I have lived on a fabulous island off the coast of Washignton and it just seems right to visit an island off the west coast of Ireland! April 27th heading towards our departure from Dublin on the 29th, suggestion for this since we may want to breakup the long drive. April 28th arrive close to airport for overnight stay (Swords?) with departure in a.m. of 29th. We plan on doing alot of hiking, relaxing, meeting people and talking with them, seeing the sights and of course pub time. Any one know of any hot springs or health spas (budget type) where we could soak and have a massage?All advice much appreciated and look forward to "cleaning up" this trip and then sharing the fruits with you all here.
