Hello! My wife and I are traveling to Ireland next week. While the framework is largely sorted we are debating shaving a day or two off in certain areas to stop in another area. The basic structure is Galway->Killarney then move south to Kinsale, where I need to drop off my wife and continue to Dublin for a return flight. The middle part of Galway to Killarney is where we might consider staying in Dingle before heading to Killarney instead of 3 nights in Galway. Would appreciate any thoughts!
Day 1: Fly into Dublin (10a). Walk off jet lag, spend 1 night in Dublin
Day 2: 10a train to Galway. Explore Galway
Day 3: Early morning car rental (8a). Travel around Connemara. Sleep in Galway
Day 4: Maybe explore the sites in County Claire or travel to Dingle? Current plan is sleep in Galway but could be convinced to just travel and stay in Dingle for a night!
Day 5: Travel to Killarney -- spend day in the town / the close area. Sleep Killarney
Day 6: Ring of Kerry -- Sleep in Killarney, or just make the trip to Kinsale and stay there
Day 7: Drop off wife and back to Dublin
Day 8: Drop car and fly home
