  • I have never traveled farther than Arizona so I am pretty new to the whole thing. I have always wanted to go to Ireland but I'm not sure where to go? I love being by the water and I love the country. I always see pictures of Ireland and how beautiful it is. I am also curious about the cost and weather. I do know Ireland is rainey but what is the avrage temreture? If you have any suggestions I would appreciate it. Thank you :)
