First time Ireland visitor, and I'll be with my husband (both age 28) and three younger siblings (ages 22 and 19). We only have 5 nights. Planning on staying in airbnbs, hostels, and irish bed and breakfasts.
Day 1: fly in from London (will not be jet lagged, don't worry) to Dublin in the morning (flight not booked yet, hopefully around 8am), rent car, Guinness Museum (that's it for Dublin!), drive to Galway for the rest of the afternoon, explore pubs/city at night
Day 2: catch ferry to Aran Islands at 10:30am from Rossaveal, spend most of the day on Inish Mor, leave on ferry by 5pm to get to see Cliffs of Moher around 7pm, drive to Ennis to stay the night, very busy day. **is this too much? is there a better place to stay on our route to ROK the next day?
Day 3: drive from Ennis to Killorglin (2.5 hours) then do the Ring of Kerry (all day), stay the night in Killarney? or would Kenmore be better? This is the day I'm most worried about, I feel that it's too much.
Day 4: morning in Kenmare or Killarney, then drive through Cork and Cashel (castle) to get back to Dublin by the end of the day (4 hours straight driving minimum). There's a more direct route that skips Cork and Cashel, but I feel like these are important.
Day 5: fly back to US out of Dublin at 12pm.
Are we going to be too exhausted to function? anything y'all would leave out or put in?
