My husband and I will be heading to Ireland in about a month for one week. We fly in to Dublin will spend two days there (we've all been before and are really only stopping there at all for the Penn State football game). We will then leave there and have a driver take us to Cork, where we are staying at Hayfield Manor. discount military airline tickets We'll be there from Sunday to Tuesday - any suggestions for us?
A bit about our group - we, first and foremost, love to eat and drink, so that's our priority. We also love taking in Irish culture (listening to live music, meeting locals). Not big on churches overly historical stuff. And, while we're not major outdoorsmen, we do appreciate beautiful scenery and taking in our surroundings through an activity (like a boat tour). My Mom has a bad knee, so no hikes for us!
From Cork, we'll leave Tuesday morning and we have a few days before we're due back in Dublin on Thursday night. If we're looking to stay East of Cork as we make our way back to Dublin, where would you stay for 2.5 days? We LOVED Galway, and are looking for something similar - a quaint, charming town that's got less of a city vibe and more of a small village feel, but that still has enough options for us at night for dinner discount military airline tickets and music. We will still have our driver/guide to take local day trips, but we're looking to pick our second "home base" ourselves.
The Connemara and the Dingle Peninsula would make great stops winding your way back to Dublin - these are similar to Galway but more remote, especially the Dingle Peninsula - a lovely drive around it.
A local hit is Fungi the Dolphin, a dolphin who swam into Dingle Bay years ago and stuck around and is now a major tourist attraction - a cottage industry has arisen wher local boat men take tourists out to meet and great the friendly dolphin.
From Dingle you could drive up the rugged West Coast, thru the Gaellecht (?) or Gaelic-speaking area where Gaelic is still the daily language for locals - hit the Cliffs of Mohair and the Burren and head back to Dublin.
Meeechigan fan here - did not know Nittany Lions were playing in Dublin - great - why start that game at 1:30 - meaning 8:30 am TV time back here - seems it should discount military airline tickets have been later for U.S. tellie audience.
