Thank you for visiting my blog, which I started as a way to enhance an upcoming 50th birthday trip to the home of most of my ancestors. This blog will contain musings about all things Irish, as well as travel tips, book and movie reviews, restaurant and lodging reviews, and a rolling count of how many pints of Guinness we consume on the trip. Hope you enjoy traveling with us!

Doonbeg trounces Doolin!
This photo of White Strand B & B is courtesy of TripAdvisor New Plan - Again!! Found an even better B&B about 30 minutes south of Doolin in a little town called Doonbeg. The White Strand B&B is rater by several travelers on Trip Advisor to have the best beds! Teresa is only charging us 30 Euro per person per night, 10 Euro/night less than the Half Door B&B in Doolin, which has less glowing reviews. The nicest feature of the Half Door (other than the cool front door) is that it's directly across from a great pub, so getting home after dinner and a few pints would be safe and easy. But the White Strand is directly across from a beach :-) and only a few kilometers from pubs and restaurants. It's in such a serene setting, and we got the large bedroom upstairs with the veranda! Not too much competition for rooms in west Clare in late April, apparently :-) I love how the let-down of one place (Hillview) has become such an opportunity for us.
