We are doing a hiking trip this August. Trying to decide the best way to get from Dublin Airport to Tralee. I've looked into flying, taking the train and renting a car. (we are experienced driving on the left side, no worries with manual transmission either). We arrive early in Dublin, as long as flights from the US are on time. I realize if we fly, we fly to Kerry airport and would have to taxi or bus to Tralee. Train is a long trip, and we need to get to Tralee the day we arrive in Ireland. Driving looks least expensive, but that's without the insurance fee that I know they will add.
Taking the train would require us getting into Dublin and then 5+ hours of additional travel. Flying would require transport from Kerry airport to Tralee and back, and luggage fees (as we will have backpacks and a suitcase each).
What would you recommend? PM is OK too, or reply on the board.
Looking for opinions - Thanks!
