Accommodation for October 4 @ Best Western Eviston House 97 New Street Killarney, Ireland

October 3 & 4 will be long days!  I outsmarted myself booking the connecting flight from Dublin to Kerry.  I booked it on October 3 - a few weeks later I realized we were not arriving until October 4.  For an additional 80 euros I was able to change the flight .  The original purchase price of the flight was 82 euros - a first for me!

Appears we will be sampling airport beer in 3 provinces in one day!

On October 3 we hope to fly to Dublin Ireland for a 3 week vacation.  We intend to walk the Kerry Way- a 218 km stroll around the breathtaking Iveragh Peninsula in south west Ireland. Our plans are weather dependant.. a forcast of multiple rain days will find us renting a car and driving the Emerald Isle!

We are grateful for our good health!
