Well had a wonderful trip to Ireland in June 2006 and will be returning.
I'll be adding more to this page including some pictures but in a nutshell I found it to be a beautiful as legend has it and the Guinness Draft gets better the closer you get to Dublin(if you can believe that).
We spent our trip in the South and Southeast near the towns of New Ross and Kilkenny. We visted Enniskerry, Adare, Glendalough, Inistioge, Graignamanagh(first pic below) just to name a few and found them all well worth the trip. Just Charming.
Kilkenny Castle in Kilkenny.
On our way to Inistioge. A charming little out of the way town but very pretty.
Thatched roof cottages in Adare.
Being a beer drinking and home brewer I found another wonderful brew. Smithwick's Irish Red Ale is a beer I enjoy nearly as much as Guinness. It's a nice break on occasion and has a nutty flavor that really should be tasted but not drank as cold as American Lagers.
Having a few pints of Guinness with Holly(my fiance'), Ryan my nephew(no, none for him...yet), Sister-in-law Tracy, my mother Janet, brother Dan and Tracy's cousin Steven at Kennedy's in New Ross.

The house we stayed at in Talghar.
We had such a great time we're planning on going back in '07. More to come on this page.
