Message: [QUOTE="QDOG5, post: 5298050, member: 6764"] We did a family trip to Ireland a few years ago. I have two suggestions I'd like to mention. While you are in the west part of Ireland make a reservation for a one hour walking tour at the Irish Falconry School at Ashford Castle. You will walk the grounds with a hawk (falcons are too large) on your arm. You will learn how to release and how to call them back and have them land on your arm. We had six of us and some were apprehensive at the start but by the end of the hourlong tour all of our family was very comfortable working with the hawks. I would also suggest arranging a trip to a working sheepdog farm. Probably easier to find on the west coast too. My wife is an excellent planner and when I looked at the itinerary those were the two stops that I thought I'd enjoy least and they turned to be my two favorite attractions on the trip. [/QUOTE]
