Saturday
We arrived in Shannon and headed towards County Kerry, stopping in a few small towns along the way.
We stayed in a bed and breakfast, Brook Lodge Hotel, a block off the hustle and bustle of Killarney Town Center. We spent our first night enjoying the town center where we found the worlds smallest bar and most enthusiastic elderly singer.
Sunday
We took a Ring of Kerry bus excursion. Gorgeous sites!
Monday
We drove to Dublin. Checked into our bed and breakfast and hopped on the Dublin hop on-hop off bus. First stop Trinity University. Next, we met up with Katie, Chad, Kayla and James at the Guinness Storehouse.
Tuesday
Matt, Mike, and Charlie arrived. We walked through a park and took a tour of the historic Kilmainham Jail. Then headed for a tour and tasting at Teeling Whiskey.
Wednesday
We learned and played Gaelic games: Handball, Gaelic Football and Hurling.
Good times all around. Then we drove to Galway, checked into our house, and made our way to a nearby pub.
Thursday
We took a tour bus through County Galway.
Cliffs of Moher
Friday
Chris and I left the others and headed to Shannon where we stayed in a fabulous bed and breakfast Carry Gerry House. We spent our first-last night having dinner at Bunratty Castle.
Saturday
We headed to the airport after one final Irish breakfast. After 90 minutes in flight, the pilot announced we were having technical issues and would need to return to Shannon.
Sunday
Finally back to NY. Then an overnight drive to VA. Man, I missed my babies!
