I have visited Ireland 50 times since 1973 and know the Emerald Isle like the back of my hand. That`s why everyone calls me the “Ireland Expert”. Besides writing a book about Ireland called “IRELAND DREAM TRIP” - formerly "BEST LITTLE GUIDE TO IRELAND" - (which I update yearly and is now in its 20th edition) I also plan customized itineraries to Ireland for my clients. I really enjoy helping others plan their trips to the Emerald Isle and I love answering thousands of questions at various travel forums dedicated to Ireland. I have a forum at http://www.irelandyes.com...I`ve produced a web site to help people planning a trip to Ireland. "IRELAND YES" can be visited at: www.irelandyes.com... My favorites list for Ireland follows and may help you plan your trip...MICHELE`S IRELAND TOP 10 LIST... 1. Cliffs of Moher (Co. Clare) 2. Dingle Peninsula (Co. Kerry) 3. Killarney Area (Co. Kerry) 4. Kenmare (Co. Kerry) 5. Connemara (Co. Galway) 6. Kinsale (Co. Cork) 7. Kilkenny (Co. Kilkenny) 8. Cashel (Co. Tipperary) 9. Glendalough & Powerscourt (Co. Wicklow) 10. Giant`s Causeway (No. Ireland)... I really know my stuff so if you have any TRAVEL REALTED QUESTIONS about Ireland I`m the person to ask!
