[Sca-cooks] OT: Trip to Ireland

[Cathy Harding]

Definitely go to the Irish national museum and the portrait gallery.  They
are both in Dublin.  William spent several days in both, pressing his nose
to the glass in the treasury room.  He's a goldsmith and there were lots of
lovely things....

Subject:	[Sca-cooks] OT: Trip to Ireland

After several years delay (buying a house put us off-schedule), my
lord and I are finally going to Ireland.  We will be there from Sept.
10 - 21.  We are flying into Shannon and departing from Dublin.
We have booked a "self-drive tour" with a rental car and vouchers
for B&Bs.  Our vague plan is to drive a semi-circular route along the
southern coast from Shannon to Dublin.  At this point, our only
must-sees along the way are the Ring of Kerry, the Craggaunowen
Project, Blarney Castle, the Waterford factory, and Kilkenny City.

Any recommendations for places to visit/stay/shop/eat?  Since my
persona is 10th century Irish, things related to that era would be of
particular interest.  Oh, and I don't do beer or ale.  At all.  Is cider
readily available in pubs?

I'm still a little wistful about missing Pennsic this year, but this is a
pretty bright silver lining...
