When you think of Ireland, do you think of four leaf clovers, leprechauns, and overflowing pots of gold?
My husband’s a dream vacation is for us to go to Ireland. I have researched this lush green Island for several years now. I feel like I have put together several itineraries for him to choose from, but we have yet to make it to the land of his ancestors. I would love to surprise him one year for his birthday, and whisk away to Ireland.
In doing my research, I have put together a list of resources, which I will now share with you. I hope they will help you plan your dream trip to Ireland.
Irish Fireside has put together several resources in one location, including travel checklist, beginners guide to Ireland, train travel in Ireland, podcasts, travel tips, Irish culture and heritage, places to see, and a travel stories.
The Travel Tester has blogged about several Southwest Ireland destinations including Cork and the Cliffs of Moher.
The Smarter Traveler has put together a list of some “must-see” Ireland destinations, including Galway, Limerick, Kilkenny Castle, Belfast (Northern Ireland), Wicklow National Park, Giants Causeway (Northern Ireland), Blarney Castle, and the Rock of Cashel.
If you’re up for a scenic road trip, the try the Wild Atlantic Way, as detailed by Irish Fireside. The Wild Atlantic Way is a stretch of 1500 miles with 157 points of interest along the western coast of Ireland.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sunshine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

if you need info on where to go, just let me know…my cousin in law’s whole family is there. He moved here years ago to work for my Mom’s company and fell in love with my cousin.
Absolutely! My husband and I were talking just this past weekends about planning our trip there! Thanks so much!
