Hello. I am in the final stages of planning our trip to Ireland this summer and I have read many helpful tidbits on this forum, which I so appreciate. I would love input on my proposed itinerary before I finalize the booking of all of our lodging. We plan on renting a car for the entire trip. Also, our boys (14 and 16) are into every type of music and they both play guitar, bass and drums. Any advice on where to hear the best music is much appreciated! I know that Dingle is going to be the best spot for this but any thoughts on where to go in other towns would be great! Thanks!
Proposed itinerary:
1. Fly to Dublin. (2 nights in Dublin. Visit Newgrange)
2. 3 nights on a rented barge from Vicarstown (Grand Canal) (Barrowline Cruisers)
3. 2 nights in Kinsale. (we are foodies and looking forward to trying some great food here)
4. 2 nights in Kenmare. Visit the Beara Peninsula,
5. 2 nights in Dingle. (killarney Natl. Park on the way?)
6. 2 nights in Galway (visit Aran Islands)
7. Return to Dublin or possibly we will fly out of Shannon and stay nearby for our last night.
Thank you!
