I cannot believe that the final season of Game of Thrones is here! What a better way to bring in the new season then to take you on a tour of some of the sites where the show was shot in Ireland. When we were in Ireland last spring my friend Kay and I looked for a tour to take…
Continuing to highlight Ireland this month I thought I would share the castles of Ireland I came across in my travels. Castles hold a bit of fascination for me. Probably because there are so few in the US and none quite as old as the ones you’ll find in Europe. Castles amaze me because I think of how they were…
I thought I would take the month of March to celebrate Ireland. It’s taken me a while but I’m a huge fan of the country. From its people to its cities and traditions. It’s an unassuming country that is comfortable and friendly. No matter where you go someone will strike up a conversation with you and the scenery will envelop…

Temperatures didn’t go above 30 degrees Ferinheit but that didn’t keep us from exploring the city and taking advantage of what Stockholm had to offer. Here’s why you should consider visiting this Nordic city in the winter. Everything is a little cozier Although it…

Now, I don’t want to spend New Year any other way except in another country! If you choose Copenhagen as your New Year destination here are some things to know. Book Early! If…
If you live in the US Thanksgiving is coming up and it is the beginning of the holiday travel season. A lot of people are flying to be with family and friends.
