Since I had been to Killarney and County Kerry previously I had things in mind that I wanted to share with my family. And, of course, there were many things we didn’t do. These are just a few other activities close to Killarney. Ring of Kerry The Iveraugh peninsula is probably the most traveled area […]
Killarney for Kids: Shopping
We spent 4 days and 3 nights around Killarney. There is a reason this is one of Ireland’s tourist hot-spots – there is so much to do! We didn’t even scratch the surface. Kid friendly doesn’t even begin to describe all you can do in and around Killarney. Killarney is the major tourist town of […]
Eating Around Ireland
You can get anything you want in Ireland. But why would you want McDonald’s, TGIFriday’s or anything else you can get at home? Open yourself to Irish food. If you stay at a B&B- and possibly even a hotel- you will be offered a traditional Irish Breakfast. There is enough food offered at this meal […]
Cahir Castle and Town, County Tipperary, Ireland
Forwarded to IFV 4/7/2018 Cahir (pronounced ‘care’) makes a terrific afternoon trip out of Cashel. Cahir Castle-complete with a moat- is especially nice for children as it sits on a small island and both the grounds and the castle are very open and perfect for exploring. Once inside the main keep you can enter the […]
Rock of Cashel, County Tipperary, Ireland
Forwarded to IFV 4/7/2018 I have yet to see anything more imposing or awe inspiring than the Rock of Cashel. Breathtaking, spellbinding, awesome… These words don’t even do it justice. It was originally built as a fortress in the 4th or 5th century. In the late 7th century St. Patrick baptized a King of Munster […]
Cliffs of Moher, County Clare, Ireland
Forwarded to IFV 4/7/2018 Very few things are as awe inspiring as the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland. There is a reason this is Ireland’s top tourist attraction. Words just can’t describe the awesome natural beauty. O’Brien’s Tower was built in 1835 as a viewing spot for the tourists that thronged to the Cliffs even […]
Bunratty Meadows Bed and Breakfast, County Clare, Ireland
Forwarded to Bunratty Meadows on IFV 4/7/2018 In November 2005 we packed up our little family and headed to Ireland. With a one-year-old it was quite an adventure. We were able to get the best package through our travel agent (Diana Rosenberg at Allied Travel in Des Moines 515-270-7070) with Brendan Vacations. Our stay was […]
Glendalough, County Wicklow, Ireland
Glendalough is about two hours south of the Dublin airport. Gleann dá locha literally means the ‘Glen of the two lakes’ as the ancient monastic community lies in a beautiful valley in the middle of the Wicklow Mountains. If you are heading to Glendalough from Dublin I highly recommend researching directions online as we used […]
Stunning. Wild. History. The Inishowen Peninsula for #IGTravelThursday
Few tourists make their way to the Inishowen Peninsula, the most northerly peninsula of Donegal, Ireland’s most northerly county. Even I, in a decade of Ireland travel, didn’t visit her most remote county. Our tight schedule left us only 2 days to visit the northern part of County Donegal, and only one day to drive […]
Car Rentals in Europe
On our recent trip to Ireland I booked as much stuff as I could before we left and paid with US dollars. It’s just more economical with the exchange rate. So when I was able to book a mini van for a week for $440.35 through Hertz I jumped on it. What I was told […]
