Always worth it.

Plastic feels no pain. Although, "driven vertically" elicits recall of a scene in Pulp Fiction.

Oh, the mountain is high and the valley is low;
It's the laws of nature that make it so;
If the valley is high and the mountain is low;
You're either upside-down or drunk, or both. :-:

Does it cover delays due to volcano ash?;)

While on patrol just now I came across a vehicle parked on private property. As I passed the vehicle I saw two people making out. :rolleyes: I pulled up behind them and asked the driver for his license, reg and insurance. He did not know why I was asking him for his information since he was sitting TALKING to his lady friend :confused: How you can talk with your lips locked is unknown to me :rolleyes: I was glad I got there before they started anything else ;) I then nicely pointed out the NO PARKING/TRESPASSING sign he parked next to

Avoid Limerick. It is a crappy town with nothing to do nor see. It does provide access to Dingle which is both beautiful and fun to say, but otherwise Limerick sucks.

My wife and I did 5 days in Ireland for our engagement trip (well, she didn't know that when it started). We did two days in Dublin, a couple in the middle of the countryside, relatively northern/middle versus south, and a couple in Limerick.

Dublin is great with the museums and the river and such but isn't really a great place to base yourself if you want to see more of Ireland. We rented a car (and skipped the insurance; I wouldn't do that again) and drove a lot but saw some beautiful things. Spending time in the Burren and at the Cliffs of Mohr is absolutely a must do.

If you want to follow our itinerary click through the few pages of photos here. In addition to me in my PJs getting ready to board the flight you can see some of the other stuff we did and roughly map the path we took. Let me know if you have questions or want more details on any of it.

Would it cover costs due to being stranded by the volcano? If not, almost certainly not worth it.

It looks like a volcano would be covered but I, too, am not a lawyer.
