Pack the obvious essentials, toothbrush, clothes bla bla (or, since your going to the Gaeltacht, scuab na fiacla, éadaÃbla bla)
Make sure to brush up on you Irish, take a good Irish phrase book, unless you know good conversational Irish, and make sure it's in the dialect of the Gaeltacht your visiting, because the differences can be huge. Try to speak as little Bearla(English) at a Gaeltacht as possible, it's not that the locals are arrogant, it's just that this is the last place were spoken Gaeilge can be heard, so let's keep it that way eh?
If you play, bring an instrument! The Gaeltacht is great for ceol! (music), if you play guitar, bodhrán, banjo, mandolin, whistle or whatever! Wether your professional or beginner, there's a lot you can learn from the musical tradition of the Gaeltacht.
Sports? Unless your into hurling or Gaelic football, your pretty much at a loss, although snámh (swimmings) useful if your up in Donegal (Dún na nGall), since a lot of your time will be probably spent on the beach (trá).
That's all the advice I can really give you, so adh mor ort! (good luck)
