Our friends from Dallas finalized things with their business and have packed their things and family, and moved to an island in the Pacific NW. My wife talked with her friend (the wife) last night, and she asked when we were coming up to visit. We want them to get settled first. To my knowledge, they've found a home, but will likely want to do some improvements on it before moving in, so they're in a rental at the moment.
Ideally, we'd like to go up when they've settled into their actual home, and go across the border into Vancouver. Probably not until Fall, but I'm excited just thinking about it.

I honestly feel like you can't go wrong. Definitely venture outside of Dublin as much as you can. Dublin is a cool city, but it's a city. At the end of the day, not spectacularly different from most cities. And it's a small island. Even your itinerary doesn't afford your staying the night outside of Dublin, you can even still take day trips to some lovely places.
My trip was three weeks, me and one backpack. I flew to Dublin, then took a train to the south and worked my way up the west coast via bus and train, bit by bit. Walked a lot, hiked a lot. Everywhere is beautiful and the people are generally very friendly.
If you have the cajones to rent a car and drive on the left side of the road, that's probably the dream option when you're outside of Dublin. I do not have those cajones.
Right now we are planning on renting a car and driving around a bit. We won't have a ton of time (probably like 10 days or so?). And we want to be able to move.
