My family is planning a 6 day trip to Ireland. We arrive in Dublin on a Sunday morning and have to arrive back in Dublin on Thursday evening. We want to see Galway and Dingle. Would love suggestions as to which town we should spend the time in?? 2 nights in each?
We would drive from Dublin to Galway on the Sunday we arrive. The Aran Islands are a must, as are the Burren and the Cliffs of Moher. Any suggestions are most welcome!

Have you thought of Killarney instead of dingle? You can still enjoy the Dingle peninsula area, but then also the area around Killarney National Park; the Skellig Coast (a must if the kids are Star Wars fans, especially Portmagee); the Kerry Cliffs (compare them to Cliffis of Moher!); Ring of Kerry and all that!
Galway is a big city (with lots to do); Apple has offices here; many multinationals, too. Keep that in mind when you're thinking driving, as rush hour is Galway is ...... yucky. Dingle is small, but it's also crowded. Add time on the Google maps when yo're planning the drive times!
