1994 Ireland Trip


I just added a folder to the Mooney Family Album called Ireland-1994.
It contains about 193 pictures from a two week trip some family members took to Ireland in June of 1994. To get to the pictures, you need to scroll to the bottom http://www.rahul.net/jsutton/mooney/ of the Mooney Family album and you will see the folder. Just click the folder and the pictures will appear.
Paul Farrell organized this trip and the whole crew was, Paul Farrell, Tommy and Nancy Farrell, Nancy’s mom Elva Alexander, Eddie (Rock) and Donna Mooney, Barbara Mooney, TP Murray, John Murray, Mike Mooney, Sharon Sutton, Jack Sutton, Mary Clark, Courtney Clark, and Mary’s friend Robbie (sorry I don’t know her last name). We all left from Philadelphia Airport on June 1st 1994.
We landed in Shannon on June 2nd 1994 and rented a Volkswagen bus and a sedan for our transportation. We generally made a counter clockwise trip around Ireland visiting well know cities and locations such as Limerick, Tralee, Dingle, Ring of Kerry, Cork, Killarney, Waterford, Kilkenny, Tipperary and Dublin. From Dublin, several of us, TP, John, myself and perhaps Coutrney made a day trip to Northern Ireland and Belfast.
From Dublin we cut cross country to Donegal, then down to Galway with a day boat trip to the Aran Island of Inishmore. We finished down the west coast past the Cliffs of Moher and back to Shannon for our return flight to Philadelphia on June16, 1994.
Paul did an excellent planning job on this as our whole itinerary was mapped out in detail and all B&B’s were booked in advance. Well done lad.
The pictures are in some sort of order following our trip plan, some however are guesses to exact location. I hope everybody can see and enjoy the pictures.
