We returned from Ireland two years ago today. Right at the start of work from home, lock down, and all of this fun.
There were a ton of posts two years ago about Ireland. With time to reflect, it was a great trip in a weird time. Dublin is a neat city, it is a very modern city, very welcoming. Trinity college, St Patricks, walking along the river. We were only in Galway a short time, the drive north from there into the countryside was spectacular. Neat hotels, great service, nice space (traveling off season prices were low, I booked a suite in one hotel and it was wonderful to have the extra space.)
The time down south in Kilkenny and Waterford was amazing. We stayed at a golf resort, operated by Marriott. The room was nice, the bathroom had a heated floor, I was in love with that. We drove along the coast for a couple of hours, with a gale blowing in and heavy surf. It was amazing.
By the end of it, places were closing, restrictions were starting. But we still saw and did a lot. For us it was a wonderful time of the year to travel, no snow or ice, but not hot, not crowded. If we had been a couple of weeks later going, we would have not been. Grab the opportunity when you can. No regrets (well except for driving, I didn't have an accident, others didn't do so well.)
Details will follow, most likely after the trip, I almost never talk about being gone, before I am gone, I just booked an adventure for later this spring. A return to someplace I have been once and my only regret was that we didn't stay long enough. Five nights this time. I needed a passport to book it.
