I loved it. I am happy to get home because I missed my boyfriend and my animals a lot, but I would go back in a heartbeat. We crammed as much into 12 days (we had 2 days in London to start with) as we could. We saw so much - Glendalough, Cobh, Blarney Castle, the absolutely beautiful Dingle Peninsula (and Slea Head) and the Conner Pass, the cliffs of Moher, the Burren, the Aran Islands ( I almost puked on the ferry), a little of Connemara, Cong (where The Quiet Man was filmed), Newgrange, and all points in between.
We spent only a little time in Dublin, I’m sorry I couldn’t meet up with the Dublin Dopers. The Book of Kells was closed for conservation when we were there, (but i got to see the fake Book of Kells) that was the only bummer. We toured the Guinness brewery and drank at the Gravity place on top.
I got a little lost on the way to the Dublin Airport yesterday morning, I don’t know where I was, but it looked a little slummy. At 5 AM, I was a little scared. But I finally stopped at a petrol station and made it. Five airports (Dublin, Gatwick, Heathrow, Reykjavik and Minneapolis) and three flights later I was home. Next time I’m shelling out for the more expensive flights.
Ireland is beautiful, I really had a blast there. I could live there, easily. I took well over a gigabyte of pictures, I’ll make a webpage up soon.
