The freeways were fine, but we went on some very narrow mountainous
roads, some too narrow for two vehicles to pass each other.

Agreed that manual is easy to get used to, but instinct for the left
side of the hard is the hard part. And second the narrow roads -- get
the more narrow car you can get. Fortunately the single lanes has slow,
infrequent traffic, and one driver or the other pulls over somehow to
allow the other car to pass -- usually the call closest to a pull-over
spot.

I'd like to suggest in particular, the penninsulas on the western coast
are spectacular for driving. Beara and the Healy Pass were the best.

The most exciting trip was when we ended up going over Conor Pass rather
than taking the road I had planned to take. I later learned more about
Conor Pass at

ISTM that this road is only going to be dangerous if you act the complete
idiot
