Decisions have been made and bookings are complete.
Having received much valued advice from an Irish friend, I've decided to rent a car the day after we finish hiking the Peninsula and drive the 3-4 hours to Westport. I'm sure it'll be more enjoyable. We'll be able to stop when we see a castle or ruin that calls to us and then there are the inevitable pubs....
Doug doesn't arrive from Dublin until 3:30pm or so, which gives me and Lauren all day to make the trip. I'm looking forward to driving the countryside and stopping as we see fit. Can you picture it? Me and Lauren wandering the Irish countryside in a teeny European rental? Will it be another "Vacation" movie in the making? Chevy Chase, where are you?
Having made up my mind, I booked the rental this morning, as well as our train from Castlebar back to Dublin.
Twelve days. Twelve days of daydreaming and anticipation...and Guinness drinking.
Poor me.
