We're using Rick Steves' itinerary as a basis for our 2+ weeks in Ireland next summer. I've just taken a look at the Shannon information site and am already thinking I need to add another day in this area (Galway), and I think this may be the case for other areas as well! Yikes! Here's our rough draft. I'm more than open to adding days in any given spot, or to adding stops along the way.
This breaks down to a 4 night stay in Dublin, 1 night in Kilkenny, 2 nights in Waterford, 2 nights in Kinsale, 1 night in Kenmare, 3 nights in Dingle, 2 nights in Galway and one night in Westport.
Days 1-4 Arrive Dublin
Sleep in Dublin
Day 5 Pick up car at Dublin airport. Drive to Glendalough
Sleep in Kilkenny
Day 6 Cashel
Sleep in Waterford
Day 7 Waterford
Sleep in Waterford
Day 8 Explore County Wexford
Sleep in Kinsale
Day 9 Charles Fort and Cobh
Sleep in Kinsale
Day 10 Muckross House and Farms
Sleep in Kenmare
Day 11 Ring of Kerry
Sleep in Dingle
Day 12 Dingle Peninsula Loop
Sleep in Dingle
Day 13 Blasket Island, Dingle town (rest day, laundry)
Sleep in Dingle
Day 14 Cliffs of Moher, the Burren, Dunguaire Castle Banquet
Sleep in Galway
Day 15 Aran Islands
Sleep in Galway
Day 16 Explore Connemara
Sleep in Westport
Day 17 Drive to Dublin for mid-day flight to England
Thinking of adding one more night in Dingle, and one more night in Galway. but again, I need more information.
Trying to distract myself from the hurricane coverage, humor me.
