My wife and I are planning a trip to see the IOM TT this year. This is our first trip to IOM, and our second trip overseas.
My wife's mom is from Belfast, Northern Ireland and moved to the US as a child. My wife has never seen where her Mom was born, so we are planning our first stop after the TT to be Belfast.
After that, we want to tour around Ireland a bit. We will either rent a car, or take public transportation. We will not rent a motor bike on this trip.
We want to see the the house her mom was born in, the cemetery where her grandmother is buried, and I want to take a tour I heard about in Belfast, detailing The Troubles. After that, we are open.
We enjoy countryside, Irish Whiskey, and whatnot. I plan to go to Jameson's, Bushmill's, and Guinness... Also, might head to Cork, to visit where Red Breast is made...
What do we need to see & do? How about traveling the countryside? Anything in the middle we must visit? We usually stay 2 nights wherever we stay, but can visit places along the way.
I'd rather stay at smaller, non-chain places, and we did this in Italy a couple of years ago, with lots of success. Should we stay in the heart of the city at each locale?
Anything not to miss?
Thanks ahead!
