This was our first trip to Ireland and we were unsure of how to navigate the road system. Jim was extremely helpful with this and when we went astray, he came to our rescue. We felt that Jim cared about us and wanted to make sure that our stay in Killarney was successful. He made terrific suggestions about a tours--taking the bus tour of the Ring of Kerry instead of our driving--and places to eat and pubs with traditional Irish music. I definitely recommend staying with Jim and Mary--they are great hosts and provide a wonderfully warm and welcoming experience.
