Why IRELAND?

We always try to plan a year ahead because there are so many amazing places to go! We decide where we want to travel next, and then we make it happen. On our "bucket list" for 2018 is Ireland. I thought you might want to know why....

Ireland is truly a fascinating place to visit. Although I can't promise you great weather, the scenery and people make up for a wee bit of wet weather. Visitors rave about incredibly beautiful lush green fields, stunning cliffs and gorgeous historic castles. You'll adore stops in intriguing villages with legendary pubs where the locals will break into impromptu traditional music or bend your ear with their love for stories that go back over many generations.

As you may have read, flights to Dublin are competitively priced now with direct flights from places like New York and Washington, DC. Even better, there are several carriers that now offer direct flights from Charlotte, NC to Dublin, Ireland. This means you spend less time traveling and more time exploring magical Ireland. Call me for flight options.

Dublin itself is an interesting blend of both modern and historic - a city that is constantly absorbing new ideas, while still embracing old traditions.  If you like to eat (and who doesn't?), you will LOVE the wide variety of excellent food from gastro pubs and cool cafes to high-end Michelin-starred restaurants. Dublin is known for serving world-class seafood that is caught fresh every day. There is much to see and do in Dublin with something for everyone. Dublin hosts many music and literary festivals. Entrance to the famous National Gallery is now FREE!

So then, are you ready to explore Ireland? It is easy to travel by road, rail, air, bike or even on foot! There are many different tours available - for various lengths of time to fit any budget. Some prefer the adventure of a self-drive vacation so they can stop along the way. Hotel accommodation includes a night in a castle, well-known hotel chain, or one of the many quaint bed and breakfast establishments. A trip to Ireland can be customized for individuals, couples or groups. Our golfing trips receive rave reviews!!
