Answer 5

I've been to Ireland twice now, once on holiday, and then last year for a combined business/holiday. I play Irish harp, and am familiar with Irish history and language, so I have a rather different perspective from most American tourists. My wife works for a local Celtic-goods retail shop here in Austin, Texas, USA, and we went to Dublin last year for a buying trip, then (as it was at the end of January) to Kildare for Lá Fhéile Bhride.

The times we have gone, I have been struck by how strongly the Irish people take the tradition of hospitality. In my experience, Irish people are quite friendly and welcoming, and perhaps a little reserved until they find that I actually have a little idea of what goes on there.

The times I have been in Ireland, and the adventures and experiences I've had there, have been some of the best times in my life so far. I miss Éire very much, and look forward to returning for a visit someday.

Answer 6

Leprechauns!

I'm clearly joking. You're beautiful landscape. I'd adore visiting one day.

Answer 7

I have been to Ireland multiple times.  I proposed to my wife on the Cliffs of Moher and she and I have been back several times.

When I think of Ireland I think of beautiful green fields, seascapes, ancient rock ruins, traditional music, a pint of Guinness, friendly and engaging people, and rock walls...I love the rock walls.  I am Italian by heritage and American by citizenship, but I have never felt more at ease than in Ireland.  One day you guys are going to get an Italian-American transplant and his Scottish-American wife.

We are overdue for a trip over...:(
