Presumably you will be leaving from Shannon in the AM on 9/20....it is a bit of a drive from either Killarney or Dingle to Shannon...perhaps a modification to your plans that will have you back in the Shannon area the night of the 19th will make your dash to the airport a little more peaceful...to do all you plan in the time alloted will be difficult at best...Killarney certainly provides for access to several of the sights you want to see and Dingle is also located in an area that has some MARVELOUS sights....to drive the ROK usually requires a full day as there are so many places to see, pull over, take a photo, stop have a pint/lunch etc that you may want to split your time between killarney and Dingle ie first 2 nights 15 and 16 in Killarney and 17 and 18 in Dingle...use this forum and its experts to narrow down those areas you deem most important...most importantly dont fret if your plans change after you arrive because life happens while we are busy making plans...relax,visit with locals and use the expertise they have to finalize your sights to be seen, most of all have a good time and realize that the lure of Ireland will soon have you returning...

Enjoy your trip.

wow, that's quite a wish list for only 5 days and day 1 you will need to be careful of driving very far as jet lag can zap you any minute....

maybe start your drive to dingle as it is closest to shannon, but if you start to feel comatose stop somewhere along the way, and spend the second day in dingle....but hopefully you can make it all the way there...just stop along the way, have some coffee, and have a walk around... then day 3 and 4 in killarney....day 5 drive back and spend what's left of the day at bunratty, which is only about 15 minutes from the airport.....and a perfect way to end your so short trip....you will wish you had more time and will be planning another, longer, trip back....lol....
