Itinerary For Ireland!

We’re pretty sure that our itinerary will include a local pub or two like Dick Mack’s in Dingle (shown above)!

Here’s our working itinerary–BUT, it could change at any moment!  We like to leave a day or two between some destinations so that we can stay longer if we like a place, or move on if we don’t.  It gives us some flexibility in our schedule.

14-(Day 2)-Arrive Dublin-Bus to Cork

15-(Day 3)-Cork

16-(Day 4)-Cork

17-(Day 5)-Pick up rental car to drive to Schull on the Beara Peninsula

Next Stop! Ireland!

It’s been nine years since our last trip to Ireland. This time, we’re keeping it simple. We drew a line on the map between Dublin and Galway, and we’re traveling south of that line.

In 2008, we stayed with a family in the small city of Tula, Ireland and attended a local Music Festival. In the photo above, Tula’s Main Street is decked out for the festival–traffic and all!

For this trip, our plan is to fly into and home from Dublin; take a three-hour bus ride to Cork; then, pick up a rental car after a few days to drive to the Beara Peninsula; on to Dingle, Galway and back to Dublin.  Our total trip time is 15 nights.  Larry is fearless in driving–even on the wrong (to us) side of the road.  We look forward to scones for breakfast, rugged hiking trails, lively pubs with traditional music, dark Guinness, and maybe even a taste of Irish whiskey.
