Ireland

Ashford Castle from our helicopter!

Ireland holds a special place in my heart. I love to visit with clients about the limitless opportunities for vacation in Ireland. Dublin is a must for any first-time visitor, but there is so much more to see and do outside of the capital city. For example, in Southern Ireland, you can explore diverse scenery along the 125-mile loop of the Ring of Kerry. If you’re looking for particular souvenirs like wool or Waterford Crystal, I will point you in the right direction. A few of my favorite Irish experiences include:



  • Dublin City – a highlight here was visiting Trinity College’s Old Library and the Book of Kells Exhibition.

  • Flying from Dublin to Donegal (Wild Atlantic Way) was stunning. The landing strip at Donegal was voted the “Most Scenic in the World”. I totally agree!

  • Here we saw deserted sandy beaches, rugged mountains and big surf. Slieve League or Slieve Liag (Irish: Sliabh Liag) cliffs are one of the highest and finest marine cliffs in Europe.

  • One of the biggest surprises on one of my visits was flying by helicopter to see the Ashford Castle, Adare Manor & the Dromoland Castle.

Visiting my sister in South America
Working with Lorey made traveling so much easier than if I had attempted to do it on my own. She was even able to coordinate my flights so my sister and I flew into the airports at the same time to make the most of our trip together. So responsive and wonderful to work with - thank you, Lorey!

Expectations Met and Exceeded!
Lorey listened carefully to our vacation "wish list" and found us the perfect resort for our family's Spring Break vacation. She met with us again right before we traveled and made sure we had all the necessary information and paperwork. We were glad to have had her knowledge and expertise. She made vacation planning easy!

Amazing Land and Sea trip to Alaska!
Lorey was all about helping us create the ideal trip. She was quick to notify us when new promotions came available and was accurate and complete with all reservation details. Would definitely use her again for major travel planning. Not Lorey's fault, but be aware that there are multiple excursions that can (and should be) explored at both Denali National Park and McKinley State Park for the land portion of the trip. Somehow we missed this when doing our pre-trip excursion planning and booking. As a result we missed a few neat opportunities to see more of Alaska. The Princess materials and website spend all of their time detailing the ship experience and much less on the land excursions (after you get off the ship in Whittier). I think there was a brochure on the train where we could have booked something, but it was not well explained by the onsite Princess rep. Recommend doing your homework. Overall, very satisfied and had a great vacation!!
