Hello there! Hoping to get some advice/feedback on our itinerary for Ireland. There will be four adults doing a road trip through Ireland. The following are places we'd like to see and stay. Open to any ideas of what to do in each area especially Dingle. Thinking we'd like to do the Dingle Peninsula Loop instead of the Rind of Kerry...any thoughts? Also, realistic traveling times for each day. I've googled it but I've heard to add time to it. Favorite pubs/restaurants in these areas would be helpful too. Thank you in advance!
