If in the west, the Cliffs of Moher is a must see. Beautiful views. Also south of Ennis (great little shops and pubs here) is a small dog leg of a town called Newmarket on Fergus where a little B&B/pub called the Hunter's Lodge serves excellet food.

Enjoy your trip. I can't wait to get back.

Hee is what we did, and when I go again I'll do the same. Landed in Dublin, got our rental car, and headed southwest. We had a room booked the night we got there and the night before we left. The rest of the time we ended up where we ended up. Looked like a cool little town, we'd find a bed and breakfast and stay the night. It was freaking awesome. I wish we would have had more time because we didn't get to see Northern Ireland, but truthfully, my wife was a little iffy about going there at the time anyway.

It is a beautiful country with really nice people. You'll have a blast.

The list is long my friend.

Temple Bar in Dublin is an excellent place to get a feel for bitters and the night life!

If your more in to the countryside, Armagh is where my family hails from.

If you want something more historical you can see the Keshcorran caves near Carrowkeel.

The National Famime Monument features a coffin ship as they were called, is at the base of Croagh Patrick in Murrisk.

Of course everyone wants to see the Blarney stone. Despite many claims of its location, the primary one recognized is Blarney Castle, just outside of Cork and built in to the battlements. Be careful when you lean backwards to kiss it

If literature is your thing, Oscar Wilde's statue is in Merrion Square in Dublin.

The list goes on and on. Feel free to drop me a line, I'll be happy to point you in any direction you please. I'd offer to put you in contact with my relatives as tour guides but the remaining may be moving here due to the currently beyond pathetic Irish economic situation. Can give you their number any way if you like, on off chance they dont move
