Packing



Packing is not one of my favorite things about travel, but it is a necessary evil. For this trip, we are each limited to one piece of checked luggage with a maximum weight of 50 lbs.

Weather and planned activites are important considerations, as is comfort.  Historical temperatures in Killarney and Dublin for the third week of October are in the mid to high 50's during the day and the low to mid 40's at night.  It may be a little warmer some days and a little cooler some nights, but this is the typical range.

Comfortable shoes are a "must have" as we will be doing a fair amount of walking, some of it on uneven surfaces.

A bathing suit could come in handy ... the indoor pool in Killarney looks interesting.

Jackets for gentlemen are not required at any time in either hotel.  

I've received lots of advice over the years, from exhaustive lists of everything I might think about bringing along, to instructions on how to travel with nothing more than a backpack for a month.

Neither of these options work for me.

However, here are some articles and web sites on the issue that may be of interest:
