ActiveFor people who enjoy walking as much as two miles a day, perhaps to explore historic neighborhoods or a nature trail.
Moderately ChallengingFor hardy explorers who enjoy a good physical challenge, spending most of their days on the go.

I'm booked for the Sept 12 trip and I'm hoping some of the people who went in April and May will post some comments about their trip.

Is anyone going from Oct. 10-24? I have yet to see anyone, besides me, going on these dates. I got my passport yesterday and now I am "rarin'" to go!

Hi Ina, we are going on this trip too! Jada, Katharine and Carol. Have you been before?

Ahn and I have never been before, but Ahn's family history seems to lead to Dingle. Therefore, we're headed over a few days early to explore Cork & Dingle before joining the rest of you. Can't wait!

My wife and I are signed up for the Sept 5 to 19 Best of Ireland tour. We are from the Upper Penisula of Michigan and will be leaving from Marquette through Detroit. Anyone else from Michigan? Looking forward to the trip and meeting fellow travlers.

In ireland, Next week! And the weather is warming! It might even be 50 degrees when we get there! When I first looked at our schedules it seemed like a lot of free time. Now that trip is closer, and after searching the towns on line, not so much. BUT on our last day in Dublin, that whole day appears free. I wonder if there is time to book a tour to Newgrange to see the Bend of the Boyne and to go to Hill of Tara. If anyone is interested in exploring this further let me know. A group of 8 would cost €290 in a minvan, or 4 €230 in an audi. Approx €. Linda

I'm hoping snow in Dublin will have stopped for my April 11th trip. I sorted clothes, found my jacket with zip out lining 3 weeks ago, so now I need to make my final choices. Getting anxious to be on my way! Who else will be there in April? Linda
