Anyone ever been to Ireland????

i went a few years ago it was amazing!!!!!!! we stayed in the shannon area we didnt make it to dublin cause we didnt wanna waste time driving but it was GORGEOUS!!!!!!! I didnt wanna leave!!

the people were sooooooo nice!!! we got lucky with the weather too it drizzled the day we got there and the night befored we left otherwise it was pleasant!! id love to go again!!!!!!!

if you go def get to the cliffs of moher it was breathtaking!!!!!!!!!

Oh, but i must warn u . the weather is NEVER good.

My cousin from Italy met an Irish girl and they live there together.

And a good friend of mine is living there for 2 years (she's going to school, her husband started a company there)

they both love it and say there's tons to do. Both beg me to come visit and I'm dying to go. It looks amazing and romantic...castles and lots of hills and the ocean....

LOL, no please, help!!! We need to book soon.

We don't want to get caught with all the tourists in Greece and Italy in the summer, so figured we'd save it for our winter vacation. No offense to anyone going...lol....

Yea I hear the castles are gorgeous, I definitly want water!!! Is it real cold, can we go in? What's the temp. like in July and August??

July and August are warmer but definitely not beach weather. If your looking for beach , you might want to look at other places.

Yeah and definitely go to the Cliffs of Moher which are in CLare as well. They are amazingly beautiful.

I've been 3 times and I'm missing it already just reading these posts.
As far as the beach is concerned, I know most natives leave Ireland and go to Spain or France for the summer. I did go to a beach in Kerry called Ballybunion. It is very popular during the summer, because that is when most of the $$ comes in. It's a huge beach. I actually put sand in a bottle and brought it home with me. I'm not sure how warm the water gets there. They have a statue of former President Clinton there. I think he went there to golf or something.

My favorite county is Kerry. Me and FH, drove out to Dingle, which is a peninsula. Oh my god.....so romantic. When you drive there, there is a part of the mountain called Connors Pass. You have to stop and take a picture in front of the waterfalls.
There is a boat ride there to see Fungi the dolphin. Well, me & FH were on the boat and we saw that a storm was coming in fast and there was no cover on this boat, so we quick jumped off. Thank god we did, supposedly, the Irish say that if you spot the dolphin, you get pregnant.

The B&B we stayed at in Dingle was called Bambury's. We had such a good time there.
Bambury's B&B

I was fortunate enough to know people who lived in Scartaglen, Co. Kerry, so me and FH stayed with them most of the time. The nightlife is good in Killarney. They have a few good clubs there and they play all American music. You might actually hear a few songs there first and then hear them over here a few months later.

We went to Cobh in Co. Cork for the day to watch a rugby game. I wish I had stayed longer. That was where the ships left to go to America. I found that place really interesting.

In Dublin, you have to go to Johnny's Fox's. For an American tourist, it's just great. Locals hang out there too, but they have live Irish music and dancers every night.

We stayed a little outside of the city of Dublin at a really great B&B. The food and hospitality there was unbelievable!
Bride's Glen Farmhouse

Me and my dad went to the Cliffs of Moher, which was amazing.

You are going to love it in Ireland! I plan on going back next year, after the wedding is over and before I start having babies!!!!
