Sat. May 28th, 2011: Travel to Ireland

Off to Ireland.   We forgot our rail pass so we had to return home. Then it was standing room only on the train for 3 hours. The ferry ride was uneventful. We had difficulties at the rental car counter (not to mention getting there was a difficulty in itself). They charged us an additional 230 euros because you MUST by their insurance. We fought with them but were told by others it was a loosing battle. They did upgrade us for free.  Through all of this the kids were AMAZING!!! We finally made it to the hotel in Kilkenny around 10 pm.
