I am also wondering >> the best way to get to Killarney from the airport--is there a train or do >> I rent a car? Hi Donna, Ross Castle Lodge on Ross Rd in Killarney is a great place to stay. It's owned by Denis & Rosaleen O'Leary. It is located just up the road from Ross Castle. We stayed there in 2005. There are many nice B&B's in Killarney but naturally we try to keep the money in the family and stay at B&B's owned by O'Learys. :o) Tony Kenny, in the Killarney Tourist Office can send you a list of their favorites and their websites. As far as a travel mode goes, it's definetly by car from Shannon if you think you can handle driving on the wrong side of the road. It will take you a few miles to get used to it, but renting an automatic, while more expensive, is worth the price and frees you from the hassle of shifting gears with your left hand while looking up left at your rear view & side view mirrors. Oops!! Now I really have you worried! Guess you better take the train. :o) Seriously, your mode of travel depends on your itinerary and how many places you want to see. If it's just Killarney, then I recommend the bus or train, or hire a driver to get you there. God speed and good luck Donna. We're going back over in 2008 for the O'Leary Reunion in Inchigeelagh, Co. Cork, our sixth trip to the oulde sod. Can't wait! Don ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour
