Must Visit: Kinsale, Ireland

We had the most wonderful time in Ireland! While we had several stops in our trip - Dublin, Rosscarbery, Cork, etc. - the one that stood out the most was Kinsale.

So I fired up Google Flights and started playing with the dates.

No. But considering the price came out to under $100 per night, I figured it was worth exploring, especially because it was close to Sarasota, one of my first thoughts on where I’d go, as well as right next to Venice, which I’ve only heard good things about.
