Last minute trip to see daughter need help
 

Managed to get a cheap last minute ticket for my husband and I and our 16 year old daughter so that we can visit our daughter who is attending Trinity in Dublin. We arrive early in morning on Nov 19 and leave morning of the 28th. She has no class on Monday so will do two weekends of travel and during the week in Dublin where we already have reservations. She has already traveled to Northern Ireland , Galway?Aran Islands and Kilkenny.
So far coming up with this
Sat arrrive early 5:25 pick up daughter and drive to Cashel
Sun drive from Cashel to Dingle , ring of Kerry sleep Dingle
Mon drive Dublin to Dingle ( I know its long) via??? sleep Dublin
Tues Dublin
Wed Dublin
Thurs Dublin
Fr drive Dubllin to Galway or Connermara
Sat Aran Islands
Sun dive back to Dublin
Mon fly out 10:45 from Dublin

They have both traveled a ton and love adventure- elephant trips in Thailand and camel trip in Morocco any adventure ideas???
Thank you

Killarney would be a better base than Dingle and Cashel round the ring and off to Dingle in a day would be a DHL/UPS route. Using Killarney your daughter could get an early morning Express back to Dublin (3hrs 15 min) and you could meander the way back.

If your only have limited time in Dingle do the Sleahead drive instead of the Ring of Kerry. Less crowded, more interesting places to stop and in my opinion scenery that is as beautiful as the ROK. Having said that your itinerary dosen"t make sense. Monday drive Dingle to Dublin? If you are in Dingle and want to see the Islands and Galway why drive back to Dublin for three days, back to the west coast and then back to Dublin. Get the west coast bit done and then back to Dublin for three day before your flight out. You can make a nice drive from Dingle up to Galwlay along the coast. Have fun

Thank you for your reply!
Killarney does sound like a better base. I think we will take a morning train there on Sat and stay in town the night. On Sun we will rent a car and do Ring of Kerry and to Dingle and spend night in Dingle. Will return to Killarney the next afternoon and turn in car and train with her back to Dublin.

Thanks Johnod
We have obligations in dublin during the week so will go to galway the following weekend.

With your limited time in the West, you might want to consider driving the Ring of Beara instead of the Ring of Kerry. We had allowed ourselves several days to do a leisurely drive of the Ring of Kerry (which we enjoyed), but we had one free day and decided to use it driving the Ring of Beara. This drive was easily accomplished in a day with plenty of time for exploration. It was much less crowded than the ROK (in fact, we saw very few people at all) and it was MUCH more scenic than the ROK.

I'm not sure what kind of weather you can expect to find on Inishmore (Aran Island) in November. If the weather is good, I would highly recommend that you rent bikes to get around. You won't have time to bike to all the sites on the island, but we found it a great way to see the island. On our day trip of biking, we were able to bike from town to Dun Aengus, then on to the Seven Churches and return via the lower road by Seal Beach, with plenty of time to explore all of these sites. There is a Spar Supermarket in town where you can pick up supplies for a nice picnic lunch. There are several shops near the pier, including one next to Tourist Information, which rent bikes for 10 euros per day.
