My wife and I were on holiday in Ireland last year.
We did a wee cruise.

and we stopped off at west cork and somebody recognized me as i was going ashore one of the shore staff and by the time i came back to the to the pickup point she pressed a copy of the program from last year into my hand and said you should get in touch and maybe come and do the the west cork literary festival
And my wife and I just loved that part of Ireland so much that my wife said, look, let's turn it into a week-long holiday.
You can do one day at the festival and then we'll fly into Cork, pick up a rental car and just drive around and have some fun.
