I would prefer not to travel more than 4 hours between stops. Does this work well? I would be spending 2 nights most places. 3 nights in Westport, 4 nights on the minibreak and only one night in Dingle. We are flying business class so I hope to get 4 hours rest onthe plane and not be quite as brain dead as I might otherwise be.
I have contacted Shane Connelly and am thinking of haveing an afternoon walk with him in the Burren on the 21st -- he would start at 3 so I would think we could get there from Killarney by then. Thanks for that suggestion.
My 2007 book will be out in March. If you would like to be on the "wait list" and be notified as soon as it is ready send me an email from my contact page.
Your itinerary looks good. Another place to consider in Co. Clare is Ballyvaughan.
