It's now the beginning of December 2013 and the rail / ferry tickets have been purchased, so we have been able to confirm our booking at the Connacht Hotel.
The following itinerary has been proposed by our regular visitor to Ireland - Richard. It isn't set in stone, but it is certainly a good basis for our visit to the Galway area.

Wednesday 8th - Arran Isles conducted tour
Thursday 9th - Lettermore Island and Gorumna Island
