The Ring of Kerry and the Dingle peninsula are definately on the list. The Great Blasket Island by boat sounds interesting too. As you suggest, we will be meandering without a set itinerary. I keep a Land Rover in the UK (same one we used to drive to India), so we'll have the freedom of our own wheels. - --Jim - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Seth Rosner" <sethrosner@direcway.com> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Monday, July 07, 2003 4:53 AM Subject: Re: [Leica] Ireland Suggestions? > Jim: > > I could go on for a week about where to go.
