My fiancee & I will be arriving in Shannon on 7/3/6, renting a car and plan to drive from Shannon through all local areas (especially Wexford & Longford since that's where my grandparents are from),making a complete circle and leaving frm Shannon on 7/12.

We are thinking of using the cheap flights to Shannon for 4 nights late May. I can get nice accomodation in either of the above but not knowing the areas I am unsure which to go for.

So which place is the best for our needs.

please help - we're flying into shannon airiport, & have no idea where to stay or what to do. I booked a hotel (Clarion) in Limerick, but I hear that Limerick is not that safe or pretty, & I'm worried. Also, I don't know whether to go down to the Killarney area or up to the Galway area to signtsee. Someone mentioned Adare, Bunratty and Ennis as possible places to see, but we'll not have a car, & have to rely on either buses or trains. Can anyone suggest a suggested itinerary? also, should we change our Limerick location to something better? PLEASE HELP. Thanks.

Hi there !!! I've just booked 2 plane tickets to Shannon and, as a matter of fact, I don't have a clue where to stay in there. I and my boyfriend are staying only for one night (or two) and we are looking for a really cheap accomodation, as this "trip" was unplanned - the pane tickets were really chep and I wanted to visit Ireland so much ;) We will be in there in the beggining of february, so we have plenty of time to think ... But still I think it would be easier to know a little from you. Greetings, Dagmara

My boyfriend and I have booked flights for a 5 day trip to Shannon at the end of October/start of November. We haven't booked anywhere to stay yet, but have been looking at guesthouses in Limerick.

Hi all, in my enthusiasm about finding a cheap flight to Ireland I didn't really notice that my return flight is at 7 in the morning from Shannon. Does anybody know if there is a chance to get to the airport that early? If not, how is it to sleep at that airport, any experiences? It's such a great thing to book flights... Steffi
