A day of rest

There are no photos to share for today. We were both feeling like we needed a vacation from our vacation, so we canceled today's site-seeing plans and just relaxed in Killarney.  I took a walk around Killarney, got some shopping taken care of in town, had a burger in a local pub, and brought some food back to the hotel for Lisa.  Lisa organized our luggage (it was getting difficult to find anything as we were just shoving thing into bags wherever we had space throughout the past week), and enjoyed the amenities of the hotel.  In the evening I headed out to a pub for some live music.  The clocks got set back an hour to return to standard time from daylight saving time in Ireland tonight, so we'll get a bit extra sleep.

Tomorrow we check out of our Killarney hotel and head out for a drive around the Ring of Kerry peninsula.  Our plans include visiting the Ring of Kerry two days in a row in case we don't have enough time on the first day to see everything.  I'm hoping to get to our hotel in Tralee to check in before 6pm. We'll be staying at the Ballyseede Castle hotel. We stayed there the last time we were in Ireland and really enjoyed it.

I think I have convinced your dad that vacations are supposed to be something to enjoy and not see how many hours you can run around with little sleep exhausted. The last few trips we rarely set an alarm and eat breakfast and leave the hotel whenever we feel like it. We see what fits into the rest of our day and go back to the hotel when we feel like we have seen enough.
