The preparation
for a vacation is almost as exhilarating as the vacation itself. I love
printing out the tickets and confirmations while thinking about how much fun I
will have on vacation. I enjoy researching all the sights at the location I
will see once I arrive at my destination. When you want to plan a vacation contact me!
HAVE
IRELAND TO YOURSELF: TRAVEL OFF-SEASON!
Off-peak Ireland is one of the best travel
bargains worldwide... short daylight hours and cool weather provide a new,
moody perspective on the country. Celtic architecture and cool seascapes fill
mornings of exploration, and crisp afternoons call for cozy Irish sweaters and
refuge in a warm pub, where visitors mix with the locals.
One of
the great attractions of Ireland is that many of its amazing sites are in the
wide-open: the cliffs and shores, castles, cathedrals and great stone circles
are accessible throughout the year. The countryside, too, holds its famous
green, even in the winter when visitors can trace the landscape of long stone
walls against a leafless sky and emerald-colored hillsides.
To
ensure your comfort while you wander through Ireland, bring heavy sweaters and
outdoor clothing and hats. Warm, comfortable (and preferably waterproof) shoes
are a must, and pack turtlenecks and windbreakers for good measure. The good
news is that because Ireland is situated on the eastern Atlantic side of the
Gulf Stream, temperatures are typically more moderate than in continental
Europe. Ireland’s average winter temperature is a relatively mild 45 degrees
Fahrenheit.
A good
travel agent familiar with Ireland is the best resource for planning your
off-season itinerary to ensure that you experience the best aspects of
traveling during this time. Travel agents can connect you to highly regarded
tour operators who are financially sound and have a reliable history of taking
care of the agent’s clients; Ireland can be equally enjoyed through a fully
escorted or independent tour, and often at additional savings over already low
rates. In addition, an agent is an invaluable source of insider tips and
research materials that take the worry and hassle out of planning an enjoyable,
quiet, and affordable trip to Ireland.
So pack
a sweater and have the Emerald Isle to yourself!
