Greetings As I've located the County Down villages of my ancestors, I wish to travel to Ireland to visit these places--probably next year. It will be my first trip to Ireland. Where should I begin checking to learn the best time of year for such a trip, when are the air fares the best, what suggestions would one give for lodging, car rental (can a tourist rent a car without an international driver's licence?), etc.? Because this will be a genealogical trip, I hope my question to this list is not inappropriate. I appreciate any assistance. Thank you, Carol
