[Travelandtourism] traveling to Ireland

[Dean Martineau]

I haven't read all messages in this thread, so I apologize if I'm repeating
something.  It might be fruitful to write to the National Council of the
Blind of Ireland (NCBI.)  I expect you could find an e-mail address.  They
may well be able to discuss the travel system.  Some creative Googling
should get you information about accommodations and events.  Also, as I
hoped, using BookShare Advanced Find, putting Ireland in the title and
sorting results by copyright date revealed a Frommer book and three Rick
Steves books within the last year.

This info is years old, yet bet something similar exists.  Years ago in
Scotland I rode the Blue Banana, yes that was the name.  it was a van, that
went around the country and dropped you off at Hostels that were great for
the price and their tourist attractions.  You bought 1 week to one month
pass and the only rule, you had to be back at the starting point one month
later if you bought the one month pass.  Maybe they came every 2 days and
dropped people off and put more on.  Never a problem but if there was no
seat space, then I guess you wait another 2 days.  It was discount for a
college budget and great. Maybe something like that still exists

Hello,

My girlfriend and I are traveling to Ireland in September. We are planning
to spend most of our time in Galway, since we love traditional Irish music.

We are traveling on our own, and we are both totally blind.

I am wondering if anyone has been to Galway and can give us any advice on
getting around the city and possibly good places to stay?

Thanks!
