TRAVELING TRIO
Our Adventure This Year:
|
We have taken six tours with Rick Steves' Europe in the past five years. Sounds extraordinary right? I can hardly believe it myself.
Our lives weren't always so jet setting. For a decade my husband struggled with multiple sclerosis, before his death in 2010. There were so many days during that time, that in order to survive I could only focus on things hour by hour. Plans for the future were inconceivable, much less traveling to Europe. As we started to create a new normal, there were so many ways that my daughter and I wished our lives could be like everyone else's. So instead of being sad that we didn't have the "ordinary" kind of life we were missing, I decided to make our lives "extra-ordinary!" One of the first steps in achieving that goal was showing my daughter the world! I am lucky to share my travels not only with my daughter but also my mother. We have turned into a three generations traveling trio! Our adventure in Ireland was full of lush green hills, friendly locals, and music in pubs. All the clichés that come to mind when you think Ireland. It was these things, plus many more, that made Ireland magical and extraordinary. Learn More About Us and Our Travels |

Sharing With Friends |
At the top of each page you will find OUR ITINERARY FOR THE DAY which gives the highlights of the activities we did with the tour (listed in GREEN) and what we did with our free time (listed in gray). It will give you an idea as to the ratio of group vs. free time! I also included our start times and when there was "strenuous" walking (as Rick likes to call it).

Buttons like this will help you travel from day to day or you can use the tabs at the top to navigate.
What You Will Not Find
I did NOT include a lot of facts, dates, and historical "stuff."
Rick does a great job of that in his guidebooks, and WHEN you take this tour (because you really should), you will have the fun of learning all those interesting things for yourself.
(I didn't want to spoil the fun, just ignite a travel dream!)
