So far, I have voted for the carry on -- especially to have room to bring home my suveniors (or "rubbish" as my Irish friend likes to say :o)). We are also staying in a self-catering apartment in Killarney, I think they have wifi, but not sure. I may have to rethink the carry on. I'll discuss it more with the friends I am going with and see if we can compromise between the four of us. I really appreciate the input! And that is a great point about the photos.; ▶ Reply to This

If wifi is available... wouldn't it be possible to *rent* a laptop in Ireland for the time of your stay..?
Best,

However, I put my laptop iin my luggage in its own bag when we had day agenda. It was safely stored, protected with clothes and its bag and at night when I was pulling evening or pjs, it was ready for me to download stuff--costs nothing, but renting might work too if oyu aren't planning on putting photos on it.; ▶ Reply to This
