All what cliffs?

Moher, Sieve, Kerry, Kilkee, Inis Mor, Fair Head, lots of others. Plenty of cliffs in Ireland. 37 can rest easy, though - the Irish Tourist Board doesn't require visitors to go see the cliffs.

This is Fair Head, about 30 minutes by car from where I grew up.

My fear of heights didn't start in Ireland. 

I had a few mouments in my trips to Australia where I was shitting my pants. 

But the truth is, a long time ago, in private school growing up, we took a day trip to the mountains, and some classmates decided it would be fun to pretend to push me over a cliff. THAT is where my fear of heights comes from.

I can appreciate that, but I don't think you should let your fear of heights stop you from visiting Ireland some day. Parts of it are breathtakingly beautiful.

The only thing about travel I hate is turbulance in flight, which most happens in storms and over the ocean. Every country has variying topography, bar none.  I hate open heights. I put up with the turbulance  in flight because I was in a closed tube. But even without travel I fear high balcony.  So any place you put me with or without a balcony, if it is above 4 floors, you'd need to put me in a sports jacket with the buckles in the back.

This is one of the places I took a day trip to. Keppel Island, Queensland Australia.

Holy fuck is this place awesome for tropical beach lovers.
