Hello! This forum was a huge help in planning my family's vacation to Germany and Austria last summer and now I'm back - this time planning our vacation to Ireland! We are a family of 4, myself, my husband and two sons ages 22 and 19. We will have about 9 days - arriving in Dublin, departing Shannon. Looking at a lot of posts and reading a lot online and in some travel books it seems like I need to really narrow down our itinerary. We have never been to Ireland so looking for some advice.
With 9 days and those cities to arrive/depart, is it best to stick to the southern/middle part of the country - Dublin/Kilkenny/Dingle/Galway/Aran Islands? We will be renting a car and are very active - looking for a good combination of outdoor activities mixed with local pubs/nightlife type of things.
Thanks!!
