Just got back last night from our trip (me, wife and daughter) and we loved, loved, loved it.
All the good advice from Michele and all other interested parties is again much appreciated.
I guess I'll be posting a trip report when I get a chance, but just wanted to let you know that Ireland was and is everything we expected and more; beautiful, fun, interesting, deeply affecting. I can still smell the peat fires. I love that smell!
Welcome home! Glad to hear you loved Ireland. You may just have to join the ranks of all of us who have become addicted to the green island.
Take your time getting over the jet-lag. When you have a chance we would love to hear all the details about your trip. Tell us how the weather was, where you stayed, what you saw, memorable meals, what you liked best...in fact everything!
If you get nostalgic about the scent of peat I know where you can get a little peat cottage incense burner that will bring the memories back.
