Bad ass pics man!

I have always wanted to play links golf...what better place to do it!

[Chas_svo]

Nah. The locals speak English and are very friendly so you always have someone to talk to. We stayed at bed and breakfasts, not hotels, so the keepers were helpful in suggesting local things to do.

I got that, just meant with the signs, and neverending 2km to blah, blah, blah...

Still sounds like a cool trip.

Really good pix Danny. Thanks for posting them. I was hoping you'd get some up here.

How were the people - in general - toward Yanks? Traditionally they are very reponsive to us and appreciate the tourist dollars, but you never know anymore. I'd just love to do that exact same trip. My family comes from South Dublin and would love to see if I could get some "tree" info there (already have a good start).

Pops looks very familiar too, but can't place if/where I would know him from.

Again, very cool man!

... and Ring of Kerry was pretty cool too.

We drove the Ring of Beara in lieu of the Ring of Kerry. We were staying in Kenmare, so the Beara drive was significantly shorter; the Kerry drive would have taken at least 8 hours.

We could have driven north to do the Ring of Dingle, but I refused on the grounds that I wouldn't be able to tell anyone about it. How can you say you drove the Cockring with a straight face?

The folks were great. They weren't quite as warm as the Cead Mile Failte slogan would suggest (a hundred thousand welcomes) but after a few beers everyone's a friend.

Pops looks very familiar too, but can't place if/where I would know him from.

He was an MSF Riders coach for the past several years. Maybe you took a motorcycle safety course from him?

[cobrajet69]

Nah. No m/c course.

After looking at the pix a little more, I'm thinking he possibly reminds me of a tv celebrity. Not sure.

BTW - No wifey in the pix, or did she not go?

I want to check out your GT500, what are you up to today?

At work now but will leave around 10:30ish. Thinking about hitting a car wash but might just giver her a hand job.

PM your number (lost it on a reboot) to me and I'll call when I get back to that part of town and we'll meet up.

Kickass pics man, Im really jealous. Those pics of the cliffs are straight up amazing!

[halo/horns]

Thanks for sharing all the pics!

It all looks so romantic and it's on my bucket list to go. I think it is really cool you took a trip with your Mom because you are right, it goes fast.
