Western Ireland: Don’t Drive

We went to Ireland in 2000. We began our drive from Shannon Airport and a local told us to take Connor's Pass...whew! When we finally reached our destination in Tralee, the B&B Proprietor could not believe we drove through the narrow paths up high in the mountains. How would we have known that this was a dangerous route to travel? The views were amazing so I guess the harrowing death trap of a road was worth it. The following day, we drove to Dingle. We decided to hire someone to drive us along the Peninsula so we can enjoy the view. I had my Rick Steves guidebook so I told the driver when to stop and read every information I had about the points out loud. We drove to Ring of Kerry, Kilarney, Cork, Kilkenny and to Dublin. We made up our own schedule and stopped whenever we wanted to. The roads were horrible back then...unpaved and very narrow. We didn't have a GPS and we relied on our trusty Michelin map. Somehow we made it to our destinations. Fast forward to 2006 when we returned to Ireland with our three young sons. This time the roads were phenomenal. Thanks to the EU, they were nicely paved and it took us half the time to get to our destination than it did in 2000. Again, no GPS but a newer version of a Michelin map. That's what traveling is all about...the adventure and thrill of the unknown...and meeting the locals! http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/jul...
