Ireland

We just got back from a visit to Ireland!  WOW -- Aer Lingus had super speedy service, we got there in just FOUR hours from Logan/Boston!  That is because we were pushed over Maine and Canada due to the air stream shaving off a couple of hours of flight.  No fun landing at Shannon at 5:30 am though. Way too early! but an hour more of vacation time!

It was a nice pleasant jaunt.  We rented a cottage in the country.  Very comfortable with a restaurant next door!
dd was able to stay with us almost the entire time since her classes ended and it was reading week.

We toured around, visited Bunratty, Cashel, Farney Castle, Dunmore and Michelstown Caves, Cliffs of Moher, and the Hunt Museum plus a few other places in between.  I liked Tipperary and Thurles.  Did not like dh's ideas for "short cuts" in a foreign country.

When we were leaving, dd benefited by us when we gave her all of our leftover Euros so she could buy her groceries.
