Cris,we went to the south coast of Ireland in May 2004.We intended to stay 3or4 weeks and "do" the south coast, up the west coast to Galway,then work our way back to Rosslare and home.No chance!The place and the people are so beguiling that we always stayed twice as long in each area.We ran out of time having only touched on the south coast as far as Kerry, and we had gone a week over our planned holiday! Everyone should go to the Emerald at least once.We're going back next year,hopefully for another month or two.It's just wonderful. Emmerson
