I checked in on the nests this morning - Sometimes it just ain't easy being an eagle.
What would really be great is a weekend stay at the Big Sur Lodge.
IMHO because I've done both - There's a lot of mention about the Cliffs of Moher/Ring of Kerry sights down the west coast of Ireland. It is a must ride when you're there. But - #1 has got to be Big Sur and the PCH/Pacific Coast Highway.

Puff, I checked out both places you suggested. The Cliffs of Moher is stunning. I think I remember Aly mentioned seeing it on her trip to Dublin in the late 90's. She stayed with a college friend whose family had a pub in Dublin.
Hi Lani - I wish I could share the full experience. The rest of the two views would help. For sure you got the effect of the high, huge, long expanse. What you don't see causes me to opt for PCH. Behind the cliffs there is not much to see. There are roads perpendicular to the cliffs and ocean front, maybe 1/2 mile drive in. It's open full fields of flat grass. In CA there are roads right along the side, green foilage and plants and huge forests of high/beautiful trees, sometime even cattle grazing by PCH. Let me mention too houses, restaurants, golf courses, beaches (hard to get to, but surfers at the bottom?), the sound of the crashing waves. The overall special effects add the extra punch. I'll always try to get any of my clients going to or thru CA to spend a day on the oceanfront if they've never had the experience.
