Sorry for the delay in posting. We got back late last Monday the 16th after a great time in Ireland. I will post pictures and a trip report as soon as I have more time. But I will say that in a nutshell, we loved Dingle and weren't so crazy about Dublin. All of our accommodations were awesome, especially Emlaugh Lodge and Cabra Castle.
And a big thank you to everyone who gave advice.....we wouldn't have had such a great time without you all.
Welcome back! What a wonderful time to be in Dingle! I look forward to hearing all about your adventure. I have never been to fond of Dublin, myself either. I prefer to stay away from the big cities.
