Dear Donna , We have all followed your plans as if we were going with you . Don't worry about driving but one word of advice from me is pay the extra insurance with the car. My Travel Agent told me not too ,so I declined it. Then as the lass handed me the keys she said."If there is the slightest scratch on that car you will have to pay 900 euros." This was more worrying than driving in Ireland. I came in too close to the kerb once and the hub cap got scratched so I went and got a new one. This worry ruined my trip. Just pay the extra insurance. God speed and remember we are all thinking of you , good luck with the family search. trish in Sydney O'Connors and Teahans from Ballfinnane and Currow,son Maurice went to New Zealand also Cournane and Bowler from Cahersiveen ,daughter Mary Frances married Maurice in NZ 1881
