This trip is a sampler of southern Ireland. Join us and our private driver to tour the back roads of Ireland from Dublin to Dingle. The landscape is stunning, the coastline magnificent, and the inns we like are cozy and comfortable.


 
When reserving your trip, it is wise to also reserve your flights for best seat selection and pricing. The best seats are now more limited than ever. For international flights, I like to book directly with the airline I am flying on rather than a third party. I certainly go to a variety of online sites to find best price options and route options and then book directly. Travel insurance is also best and least expensive to purchase soon after you reserve. We recommend travel insurance to protect your travel dollars. 

 
What better way to celebrate than make someone's dream come true. Our gift certificates are perfect for giving and we know the recipient will be happily surprised and never forget your lasting gift and the joys of traveling.

 

 
Generally, when the Royal Mail arrives, it's our Royal Horticultural Society tickets for opening day of the Chelsea Flower Show. Today, I received a beautiful Christmas card and gift from our lovely walking tour guide in London. It was the story of the Christmas Pudding complete with charms. It is an old tale indeed, with 13 ingredients representing Christ and the 12 Apostles. Each family member stirs the pudding and makes a wish for the coming year. The sprig of holly on top represents the crown of thorns. Holly is thought to bring good luck and have healing powers. The pudding is dressed with warm brandy and set alight to represent Christ's power. King George, aka "The Pudding King", requested Plum Pudding for his first Christmas in England. Then, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert firmly planted the tradition of Christmas pudding in England. I adore England and am working on another trip to England featuring the Cotswolds, walking, gardens, tea and a visit to Highgrove, the garden of Prince Charles. Are you with me?
