My wife and I are planning a trip to Ireland in March. We plan to arrive in Dublin on the 15th, and depart Dublin the Morning of the 18th. We will be departing Ireland on the 23rd from Dublin back to Los Angeles.

My ancestors are Scots-Irish and from County Antrim. I would like to meet some of my relatives, and see Northern Ireland.

My wife loves Art Museums and Architecture. I, on the other hand, am more fond of the Mountains and Countryside. We were in Scotland during the same time period last year and very much enjoyed the pub scene and meeting the locals. Are there any pub/inns in Northern Ireland in which you would recommend we stay. We would also be interested in any points of interest which you would recommend.

Finally, my wife is fond of a go-go-go vacation. We saw Edinburgh, Inverness, Stirling, Glasgow and parts of London in the same time frame last March. I am trying to convince her that we should try to spend more time in one area this time. Any help you can give me, which would convince her not to drag me over the whole of Ireland, would be much appreciated.
