My wife and I, both early 50's, are heading to Ireland with Dublin arrival on September 14, 2015, and Dublin departure on September 25, 2015. Our general itinerary is as follows:
Dublin - Days 1 and 2;
Kilkenney - Days 3 and 4 to visit friends;
Kinsale - Day 5;
Port McGee - Day 6 and tour Skellig Michael Island;
Dingle - Days 7-8;
Doolin - Day 9;
Undecided - Day 10; and
Dublin - Day 11.
I would appreciate any input on the general itinerary above which we are willing to modify. We would like to stay away from the touristy stuff and immerse ourselves more in the local culture. We want to see some beautiful country, enjoy the pubs and music and favor the small to medium sized towns with some things to see. I don't have Galway on the list but it looks like fun. I would also like to take in some sporting events and uniquely Irish events and would also appreciate any suggestions in that regard. Thanks.
