If I were going away for say 3-5 days, I'd stay terre ferme and head to the G hotel in Galway where we went for our 1st anniversary. We went for a suite and it was fab..huge room, bathroom, plasma, slippers..the works. It had just opened too and we met Philip Treacy who designed the place. Trips into town for sea food, Connemara, Salthill etc. No airports etc etc.
No connection with the place whatsoever but heading back this year for the 2nd anniverary and prob gonna make it our annual location.
