Have you dreamed of sleeping in a castle at least once? We will be traveling to the lovely Irish village of Adare after leaving historical Dublin and will arrive at The Adare Castle and Manor House to stay the night. Perfectly situated amidst the landscape and history of the region, you will delight in sleeping like a queen. Plunked on 800 acres, the setting is meant for Kings and Queens, Lords and Ladies. We will wander into the village for dinner this evening at the award winning chef owned 1826. "1826 is one of the defining examples of the modern creative casual Irish restaurant. The cooking is serious and ambitious but the food is delivered without a jot of pretension and served in the most charming, relaxed style."  John McKenna, Editor, The McKenna Guide "Best 100 Restaurants in Ireland 2014" Last year, we were dining when the Chef had just received word he had won the award for Best new regional restaurant. We had the opportunity to meet him and his lovely wife as they celebrated the news. I am looking forward to our return visit to Ireland and returning to a land that is blessed with beautiful landscapes and people.

In one word, YES! Turkey is as safe as anywhere in the world today. Turkey is a destination that will tug at your heart to return. The people, the food, the landscapes, the history and the archeological wonders are exceptional. Our full time private guide is one of a kind; brilliant, savvy and charming.   You can apply for your Turkish Visa very simply online. Turkish Air now has non-stops from several cities in the US. Recently, amidst snow drifts deeper than most can recall, I had the pleasure of dining at The Ritz on The Common in Boston with the Turkish Consulate and a meal prepared by the chef from Turkey's Ankara Palace. Sponsored by Turkish Airlines and United Nations of Greater Boston, the evening was richly memorable as is Turkey itself. Join me and discover Turkey.
