Our last morning in London was filled with the very fun activity of re-packing every single suitcase we had…leaving some in London and taking rest to Ireland. High fees for overweight bags forced this action. We had flights booked via RyanAir and evidently almost everyone's bags are considered overweight since their weight limits are fairly light. Lucky for us, our next booked hotel in London allowed us to keep our extra bags (mostly stuff from the US and clothing that we couldn't wear in colder, rainy Ireland) in their luggage room.The flight to Shannon, Ireland was nice enough. We were a little surprised by the “open seating” aspect of the flight. I
t basically means first come…first served on seats. Odd but it seemed to work. Also, if you wanted a beverage (even non-alcoholic) or snack on the plane...you had to pay for it. Not that you really need a drink or snack during a flight that lasted less than an hour!! We had rented a minivan at the airport and Dwayne bravely drove on the "wrong" side of the road while Lisa navigated. That was an odd feeling...you are both 
driving on the other side of the road AND the steering wheel is on the right side of the car. We made it safely to our Bed and Breakfast...the Ashgrove House. It was absolutely lovely and was located on a road that led to the Bunratty Castle and Durty Nellie's. If you ever want to visit the Irish countryside and see the "real" Ireland...stay at this B&B. We had one of the best dinners ever at Durty Nellie’s that night and even took a horse-drawn carriage ride around the Bunratty Castle area.
