The Dodd's Take on Ireland - Day 1

We arrived to Ireland today at about 5:40am Dublin time (we are 5 hours ahead). The flight was fine, food served was Irish Stew and was delicious. All our luggage arrived safe and sound, we picked up our rental car and off I drove (it was pretty nerve racking at first but after about 15 minutes it's not too bad), Dave and David were exhausted and napped for quite a bit of the journey

But along the way we stopped for breakfast at a cafe near Shannon. Dave and David had omelettes while I opted for French toast with bananas and some amazing maple syrup. 

With stopping for breakfast and one restroom stop it took about 3hrs & 15 min to get to the rental house

After we settled in at the rental we venture out to explore Ennis where we will be staying till Friday; its a quaint little town with some cute shops, locals eateries, and very narrow streets! We visited the local grocery and picked up some necessities; tonight I cooked everyone chicken, rice, and peas (Davids favorite). After dinner we relaxed in the indoor hot tub, much needed after such a busy 24 hours.

The house is great, David I think has the best view and when he opens his window he can hear the sheep in the field next door talking to one another.

Tomorrow we will visit the a Ring of Kerry, a picturesque roadway with some stops along the way for shopping, lunch, and snapshots.

Can't wait for day 2!
