I did! It was a pretty crazy trip. Parts one and two detail climbing the island itself, and then exploring the valley and the long stair to the monastery. If you decide to go to Ireland to do this, the second you book your flights, start looking around for a boat to take you. They carry 16 people each, and there are only 13 of them licensed in a year; usually trips book up more than 6 months in advance... With the movies now, I assume it will be more than that even. Make sure you have cash, as almost no businesses in the town of Portmagee take cards. (This is likely also changing because of the movies, though.) They can only make one landing trip each day, and the weather cancels almost half the trips. I consider it one of my biggest travel blessings so far that I finagled onto a boat at the last minute.

That sounds amazing. Thank you! Ireland is definitely on the bucket list, so making it part of my Jedi pilgrimage will definitely need to be a part of it.
