Hey guys, I'm going to be planning a trip at the end of the summer, early fall, so planning now. Around 8-9 days of actual exploring time( have 2 other days to travel). So I have a few questions. How long is a average drive from Dublin Airport to Galway City? Plan is possibly to go straight from the airport, get some wheels drive southwest to The Rock Cashel, then to Kinsale for the night. Arriving in Dublin around the 7 o'clock am hour I think should be enough time to see the Rock and then get to Kinsale, or Cork I think. Then Head towards the Ring, then stay in Dingle and drive up the coast, sorta, to The Cliffs and the Burren. If one was to Stay in Doolin or Ennis, which would be a preferred? Are these a good places to do day trips? Being in our 30's, we will be venturing out at night to have some fun with the night life, and hopefully tip a few pints with the locals. Feel free to please toss in some great Pubs and Taverns in the city's and towns I may be mentioning. We prefer to stay away from the major touristy areas, even though we are tourists as well. Then heading up to Galway after, if we have enough time. By doing some homework, this looks reasonable in the time length we have to play with. Would love to venture off the beaten path as well, suggestions of instead of this, go here, love to hear. As much as I want to see all the castles, I think we are going to skip the Blarney Stone for example, and hopefully find something not so touristy
Thanks, cant wait to get this together!!!!!
