It may look to the casual
observer that my trip is being paid for but only my meals.
Check out the commercial tour sites and I guarantee you will
see that it costs far more to book them and you won't get
nearly as much for your money.
I have painstakingly put together an
itinerary which I believe will appeal to almost everyone.
The question most people ask is "Why 21 days?"
Because, while there are certainly shorter tours available,
they take you around Ireland but you really don't get to
"see" or "experience" the country and its people. You
spend most of your time living out of a suitcase and getting
on and off a bus with rigid time constraints that don't
allow deviation or self-pacing. With my tour, I've built
flexibility into the schedule so, if you see something that
catches your attention, we'll stop and check it out!
I am very particular about my choices of
places to stay. I tend to avoid hotels since they are
invariably more expensive than a bed and breakfast (B&B)
and you aren't there long enough to avail yourself of their
services anyway.
And, when it comes to B&Bs, nothing can ruin a trip more
than substandard accommodations or a bad host/hostess. Over time, I have developed a list of B&Bs that I STRONGLY
recommend for the personality of the proprietors, the
ambience of the establishment, and the quality of the rooms. If you research B&Bs online, you may notice that some list
the fare by person while others list it by room. In my
table, the fees are listed by room, not by person.
My tour is especially suited to Seniors...there is a
minimal amount of walking required.
I have an itinerary which we will go over each
night and decide what we actually want to do the
following day. This allows us to adjust to whatever weather
conditions are expected and how the group feels at that
time.
