Hi Mark thanks for your breakfast advice, that sounds very good im going to take your advice and go there. Also thanks Andi for your imput too, i dont have any reason to go limerick it was just a crazy thought, i have three nights reserve in Galway, i can change it and spend two nights only, and one night in Ennis, I dont know, does that sound good? or should we leave  it 3 nights in Galway. and forget the night in Ennis. I apreciate any advice on that.


  Michele Thank you very much for answering, also thanks Yasire for your imput.  But I have a lot more questions,  We only have 8 nights i have reserve 3 already in galway. i also if  is possible want to go by clare, Dingle, killarney Cork  or Waterford,  we wanted to visit  Rock of Cashel or Cahir Castle, shoul we stay at Killarney lodge, or may be Harbour view, and how many nights?  We have to go to dublin i figure 2 nights because our flight departures from Dublin at 3pm  im thinking because the drive to dublin is so long i can return the car some where dont know where? and take the train to Dublin would be faster than driving, also can any one  give me advise of a B&B in doublin.  What to do? Please Help. Thank you all. Monica

Monica,


With your short time in Ireland you will not be able to see it all. You must make a list in order of importance and cut out those on the bottom.


If you cut a day from Galway you will have to decide whether you will go to the Aran Islands or do Connemara.


Killarney is a good base for the southwest and Dingle can be done as a day trip from there. If you want to see Waterford for the crystal, you can also see the crystal-making process at Glaway Crystal in Galway. Waterford is available all over Ireland and there is no "discount" on prices at the factory. That way you can cut that from your itinerary.


Get busy with your calendar and map to see if you can come up with another plan. It takes time and work to create a perfect itinerary. It rarely happens on the first few trys. Keep at it.


Michele

Monica,


Where is Harbor View B&B?


If you keep the car you can do sightseeing on the drive to Dublin. If you take the train you can't. You need to decide first on where you are staying before you can determine where you can drop the car.

Hi Michele: Thanks For your reply,


Our trip is next thursday im still not sure on what to do, We are arriving at 930Am on the 26, im picking up a rent a car at the airport Shanon, from there we are driving to Galway, taking Marks advice we are going to drive head to Kinvara on the way if possible have brakfast at Keough's, the plan is on the way to galway take a scenic route thru the Burren, going thru Ennis on to Corofin continue to Ballyvaughn from there to Kinvara to eat,I also like Coreys idea to stop near Gort at Coole Park, continue to Galway where we are going to stay 3 nights at ardawn house B&B.  Next day we are planing to drive to Conemara a day trip, Next day plan to take the Ferry to Aran Island. this is all i have plan so far. after leaving Galway we wanted to drive to Clare, also want to go to Dingle, i dont know where is the best place to stay if we head to Killarney, there is Killarney Lodge or  Harbour View? on Kenmare Michele you know this B&B?   i dont know how many nights we shoul stay in Killarney, i guess we would be driving to Dublin, We want to visit a castle  Rock of Cashel or Cahir Castle. Driving to Dublin we where thinking to spend the nights at Kilronan House, but i saw some reviews that where not to good. Please i need some advice of a place in Dublin also is two nights enough or shoud we do 3. we are staying total of 8 nights, the flight leaves from Doublin to LA at 330pm we have all morning before departure.  I apreciate any advice thanks Monica

Monica,


Do you have reservations yet for Galway? You are arriving on a Friday and staying through the weekend. Galway can be very busy on weekends. Make your plans now.


For the southwest you should choose either Kenmare or Killarney. Either one is a good base. Much as I love The Shores B&B it is a bit isolated for your needs. You can go to my "Lodgings" page for places that I like.


With your limited time I think two nights in Dublin is enough. Try Jury's Inn Christchurch. Make those Dublin reservations ASAP!


Michele

Monica,


I highly recommend Killarney Lodge. Send them an email to see if they have vacancies for you. Killarney is an excellent 3-day base. You can do the whole southwest from there.


For Dublin try Berkeley Court, Davenport, Mont Clare or go to this website: www.irelandhotels.com to see what is available.

Monica,


Delighted to hear you got reservations at Jurys. Your itinerary sounds fine. I suggest driving directly to Galway on the first day bypassing Kinvara. Since you will be traveling through Kinvara on your way down the coast of Clare and on to Killarney you will see it then. You don't want to do too much driving on your first day with jet-lag.


Enjoy your trip. I hope you will let us know how you liked it when you return.


Michele
