Hello,
I have a layover in Dublin, en route to Spain, which I have decided to extend into a real, short, holiday. I visited Ireland 21 years ago, as a child, and, honestly, have happy, but vague, memories. When my mother (now deceased) and I visited Ireland, Kinsale was our favorite place, but I don't exactly remember why. I am tempted to add a day to my trip to make a return visit--for purely sentimental reasons--but it seems like public transport isn't easiest way there (I think my mother and I took a taxi to Cork, and then the train to Dublin). My question to more experienced travelers is: is this a side trip (either a day trip, or a single overnight) worth making, beyond the simple nostalgia factor? I realize this is somewhat subjective, but any input on the subject will be welcome. If it's relevant, I will be there in mid June.
Thanks!
Caroline
