: : We will be traveling to Ireland from May 29 to June 1st. Would like to see the South East section of Ireland.. Looking for ideas of where to stay and what to see..
: Dear Linda,
: Welcome to my Forum! Do hope I can be of help.
: With only three days in Ireland, you are wise to confine your stay to the Southeast, one area. I presume you are flying in and out of Dublin Airport? or are you taking a ferry over from England or France?
: In any case, I have lots of information for you on this web site. Just go to my "Ireland Guide" section and click to Wicklow & The East and the Southeast. In each section, look at Favorite Places to Stay, A-1 Attractions, SIghtseeing Tours, etc.
: If you are arriving in Dublin, I would suggest the following:
: Day 1 - drive to Wicklow and stay there for your first day (perhaps at the Marriott Druids Glen or the Woodenbridge Hotel. Tour Powerscourt Gardes, Glendalough, Avoca...
: Day 2 - drive to Waterford or Wexford and spend a day covering these two towns including Waterford Crystal, if you are interested. Continue to Kilkenny and stay overnight.
: Day 3 - a full day for Kilkenny, Ireland's medieval city including a walking tour. You may also want to tour the neighboring Nore & Barrow Valleys (e.g. Inistioge, Thomastown, Bennettsbridge, etc.), and visit the craft centers along the way. Overnight again in Kilkenny.
: Day 4 - return to Dublin airport for departure.
: How does that sound?

I put in the wrong dates.. sorry.. We plan to leave on June 3rd not the first. We'll be flying into Dublin from Bristol England then flying out of either Shannon or Dublin. We haven't set that yet
