Ireland accomodations

I have somewhat slowed down on the ireland picture posting..
I have been enjoying the viewing and sorting and I have created some more videos - even started adding some music... 
It just doesnt seem to upload well to blogger... so I apologize for the delay in pics...

Let's see if I can provide a recap here --- I would say I enjoyed all our accomodation choices...  Two were a bit more quaint and antiguey (??) for my taste bit others will probably like them...

Adare Manor in Adare Village - not too far from the Shannon Airport
http://www.adaremanor.com/

Friars Glenn - on the outskirts of Killarney National Park

Trident Hotel - "at world's end" Kinsale

The pillows were a little thin...  and they had wool blankets...  just a bedding observation

Blarney Castle Hotel - Blarney

Waterford Castle Hotel - Waterford - on an island in the middle of the river on the outskirts of town

McMenamins Townhouse B&B - Wexford...  there was supposedly parking in the rear of the building but we ended (OK, I) up parallel parking in front instead both days.

Hilton Kilmainham - Dublin, across from Kilmainham Gaol near a HopOn HopOff station

I have to laugh at all the twin beds in most of the hotels instead of two queen or even full size beds...  And then there are the half shower doors - I totally drowned the toilet at this hotel while trying to shave my legs...

Sea View House - Doolin - down the road from the Cliffs of Moher... walking distance from a little village with a pub and live music...  and there is waterfront access

Wow - this website makes this location look really good.  It was a great location.  It's just that the weather did not cooperate.

Carrygerry Country House - near the Shannon Airport - a very convenient drive - even though it was down a very narrow and deserted road...

OK - that covers the lodging...
