It's too late for me, but I'm suggesting that people consider adding Iona Ireland, and the Isle of Iona to their Bucket List. The closest I came to either was visiting Galway. Though on a cruise ship, I did pass by the the Herbidies (Sp?) off the coast of Scotland.

Not as pretty as parts of Kerry, but an amazing place.

Visited Galway back in 1960. Took the radio (??) train over and back from Dublin. A lot of Irish songs on the trips. And, I agree about Galway being a great place to visit.

Right on cue. Instagram shows a video of Iona students visiting Galway. Was hoping to see the sun go down on Galway Bay. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)
