RICHARD & JANE GOLF THE COAST 
Dear Kristel,

Just a note to thank you for organizing our trip to Ireland. We returned on Monday, and despite the rainy weather, we had a great time. We took in all the sites and toured the country side as we travelled from one spot to the next. The boys had a great time golfing, and my mother-in-law loved seeing her "homeland"!

NIGHT 1 & 2: Old ground Hotel, Ennis.

Played Golf at Lahinch Golf Course on 2nd day . We loved the Old Ground Hotel and staying in Ennis. It was a good location for all we had to do. Golf on

Night 3 & 4: Brooke Lodge Hotel, Played Golf in Waterville Links
The Brooklodge was a very nice place, and the people (family?) who worked there could not have been nicer. The boys had to switch from a double bed room to one with twin beds (at our request) on the first floor. The room smelled musty, but we weren't in the rooms that long, so it was fine. My mother-in-law and I shared a very large room that was very, very nice. From the pubs and shopping, you do have to walk through alleys or way up the end of High Street to get there, so I wouldn't recommend the walk for women late at night when the pubs let out.

We used Corcoran Tours for the Ring of Kerry Tour. Mr. Corcoran, who owns the company, picked us up at the hotel and brought us to the office, where we waited for the bus. It was a small, 28 passenger bus with 18 people, the driver was terrific, and we all had a great time. So much better than the very large buses. We were all dropped of at our respective hotels. It was a great day!!!

Night 5: Kilkenny Hiberian Hotel, Kilkenny
The hotel in Kilkenny ( the Hibernian) was really nice. The boys stayed on one side of the hotel, which was very quiet at night. My mother-in-law and I were on the street side, and it was very, very noisy until well after 3:30 AM with club revelers. However, the hotel was one street over from the local bookstore, so my son and I were able to stay in line from 11:00PM to 12:AM for the new Harry Potter book. It was great fun!!!!!!!!

Night 6: The Davenport Hotel, Dublin. Played Golf in Royal Dublin Golf Club
We know you had tried to book us at some other hotels between Killarney and Dublin that didn't work out for us. By time we got to Dublin, my mother-in-law was exhausted, so we just did some shopping while the boys had their final day of golf.

Just a few additional notes:

Car Hire.......We got the GPS when we rented the car, as suggested by friends of ours who toured Ireland in November. It was great! Got us from one destination to the next easily, and saved us many, many hours of getting lost! So if you have people booking a car and have never been to Ireland before, I would strongly suggest that you suggest it to them. It was well worth the money.

Thank you again for your help. Having everything paid for ahead of time saved us so much time and made the vacation stress-free! We will most definitely recommend you and myguideIreland to anyone asks.
