Day 8: Tour Dingle Peninsula, sleep in Dingle
Day 9: Loop Head to Ennis, sleep in Ennis
Day 10: Cliffs of Moher, Burren, sleep in Ennis

Any recommendations on the trip itinerary would be appreciated. We are planning on staying at B&Bs and hostels, so help there would be great also.
Thanks

There are limited B&Bs in Howth. Why don't you look into Malahide instead.

I wonder whether you're going to be on our flight? We're flying Aer Lingus Chicago to Dublin leaving O'Hare Sunday night the 31st, arriving Dublin Monday the first.

Oops, sorry. Should have added that we liked Grey Gables in Ennis:

My usual reaction to draft itineraries for Ireland is that they are far too ambitious. It's a pleasant change to say that this one seems eminently sensible.

I don't have B&B recommendations, as I don't use them much.

I think Howth is much nicer than Malahide, even though I do like both.

We were almost on your flight, but I waited too long and lost the good fare - We're flying US Airways out of Chicago - so we'll be at the airport at the same time.

I will check out Malahide - Just wanted a town on DART for easy access to Dublin; harbor for walking around would be nice after the long flight.
