Congrats! We did our belated honeymoon in Ireland, too. Here are my tips: 1. If you're renting a car, take the accident insurance. Seriously. You've never driven on narrower roads. (We knocked the glass out of one of the sideview mirrors. Oops.) 2. Pay no attention to road signs. Get a good map, unless you like being lost. Ireland has the strangest road signage. You'll come up to an intersection and you'll see an arrow pointing left that says, "Dublin, 17km." Then, at the same intesection, you'll see another arrow pointing right that says, "Dublin, 25km." And, you'll sit there and say, "WTF?" I swear every road in Ireland is circular. 3. Go watch the street performers in Dublin - way cool. Take public transportation in the city - way easier. We went to an amazing Thai restaurant in Dublin. Of course, I couldn't tell you where it was or the name of it. But, by the time we got to Dublin, we were soooooo ready for some food with spice to it. (Food was probably the most dissapointing thing about Ireland for me.) 4. Enjoy it - and don't be too nervous. Everyone in Ireland was very nice, and other than the roads, it's not _that_ different that you should have major culture shock. I loved it!
