I am headed to Ireland this year (yeah!!!!). I will be in Dublin, Wicklow, Killarney, and Galway. Any suggestions on must-see places, excellent pubs, shops, art galleries, etc? I was in Dublin/Dun Laoghaire in 1992, but I am sure things have changed quite a bit since then.

A lovely place to go is Glendalough in Wicklow, full of history, but the natural surroundings are beautiful.

Thanks for the tip Phizzy. I think I will blow up my camera with use when I am over there!

If you have the chance to make it up to Northern Ireland, Belfast is a great city. You can see the dry dock where the Titanic was built, Carrickfergus Castle, the Bushmills Distillery, etc.

I wish I was going to have the time to head north! That would be incredible to see where the Titanic was built! Of course, Jameson's and Guiness are on my list!

Here's pic I took of the Titanic dry dock:
Carrickfergus Castle;
Bushmills:
At Kelly's Cellars-Belfast's oldest pub. Est in the 1600's. Great place.
A trip through the neighborhoods was the *ahem* sobering part of the trip.

I would recommend going to O'Brien's tower and seeing the Cliffs of Moher.
You should also do the Ring of Kerry and Garnish Island in Bantry Bay.

Be sure to see scenic County Mayo especially the coastal towns and villages. http://www.mayo-ireland.ie/
