hi everyone. i'm in the early stages of planning a 10 day trip to ireland and would appreciate some advice about pacing. in your experience, is it better to stay in one place longer term (say, 3-4 nights) and focus on a couple of regions, or is traveling around roadtrip style ideal (shorter 2 night stays)? we plan on renting a car/driving.

i've been to ireland before (3 nights dublin/4 county wexford), but this time i'm traveling out west with my folks. our focus is county kerry and cork, but i'd love to also fit in co. galway/connemara, co. clare (aran islands/cliffs of moher) and maybe even co. mayo if possible. i just don't know if that's too much. one night in dublin is also a must bc my parents really want to see the trinity college library (it'll be their first time in ireland).

any advice is greatly appreciated. tysm! :)
