    3. So you want to visit Enniskillen. It is a pretty town/city, spread out in all directions. To see it properly, I highly recommend that you stay at a Bed & Breakfast establishment, that you fly to Belfast, not Shannon or Dublin, and that you can take public transportation to Enniskillen. By doing this, you will only have to use English money and not the new Euro dollars unless you travel south out of co. Fermanagh to co. Cavan or over to co. Donegal. The time of year that you travel dictates the type of clothing, always pack an umbrella and good walking shoes. If you greet an Irishman on the streets, be ready for a conversation, if you greet them in the Pubs, be ready to buy a drink. Send off for the tourist package for Northern Ireland. It gives a lot of helpful information. Take a camera along in case you find relatives. Buy the post cards of the landmarks, no dissappointments there. The best meals are in the Pubs at noon and evenings. A Good Bed and Breakfast will last you all day if you can eat all of it. Enniskillen has a wounderful library , there is a small heritage center by the main bus station and there are a lot of records in Enniskillen Castle. The Telephone book is loaded with Elliots. Post a request on this Fermanagh-L site about your family and ask for imput before you leave. Have a happy trip and God speed.
