How to visit Ireland
"A lovely trip in a beautiful country with friendly people."
How I did it: We took a tour, but it would be easy enough to do on one's own -- except for the driving on the wrong side of the road bit.
Our itinerary:
Dublin (walked around and recovered from jet lag)
Mellifont Abbey, Monsteraboice, Newgrange (driven by a friend)
Bus Tour
Book of Kells at Trinity College
National Botanic Garden at Glasnevin
Helen Dillon's Garden
Birr Castle (pictured)
Knappoque Castle
The Burren
The Cliffs of Moher
Medieval dinner at Bunratty Castle
Bunratty Folk Park
Glin Castle
Killarney
Muckross House
Dingle Peninsula
Incalluin Gardens on Garinish Island
Kilmacurragh Botanic Garden
Powerscourt Garden
Back in Dublin on our own:
Royal Hospital Kilmainham
Jameson Distillery
Dublin Castle
Dublin City Hall
Marsh Library

Lessons & tips: Dublin is easy to get around by foot or public transportation. Don't miss the National Museum of Archaeology.
