My husband and I loved hiring our own boat on the Canal du Midi and are thinking of taking our 5-year-old son on a similar one-week boating trip in Ireland.   We'd appreciate any advice on the most scenic passages, lessons learned, how to do a one-way trip or anyting else that you think could be helpful.  Where should we start and end our trip?

Here's just one place I found.  Looks pretty informative.
