I went to Italy last year and got all kinds of useful advice from you- -I was even able to offer a little advice in return. Now that my husband and I are starting to think about planning our trip next year, I naturally came back to you.

We're thinking of spending a few weeks in Ireland--some time in Dublin, some time in the countryside, and maybe a week or so on a walking tour. If anyone has Dublin or country-house-rental experience, that'd be great, but I'm especially hoping that people will have advice to offer regarding good walking-tour companies in Ireland. Self-guided or group--either is fine, at least at this early stage.

Thanks very much!
