Driving Itinerary March 2018

Hi all! Some friends and I are planning a trip to Ireland next March. I've done some research and created a possible itinerary.

Day 1: Arrive in Dublin in the afternoon
Day 2: Dublin
Day 3: Dublin (St. Patrick's Day)
Day 4: Drive from Dublin to Kilkenney and stay 1 night
Day 5: Drive from Kilkenney to Killarney (Stop at Blarney Castle)
Day 6: Killarney (Drive around Ring of Kerry for day trip)
Day 7: Killarney (Day trip to Dingle?)
Day 8: Drive from Killarney to Galway
Day 9: Galway (Day trip to Cliffs of Moher)
Day 10: Drive from Galway to hotel near Dublin airport
Day 11: Fly out of Dublin airport

Does this seem doable or too ambitious? It seems like a lot of time in a car. We plan on getting an early start driving each day in case the drive takes longer than expected.

We had a similar route last year with a few more days... you will be fine though

The only thing I would change is is instead of just making Dingle a day trip, I would leave Killarney, drive to Dingle, stay in Dingle and then go from Dingle to Galway.. You can stop at the Cliffs on the way and then that gives you more time in Galway without having to retrace your steps. If you wanted, you can get to the Aran Islands from Galway

have fun!
