In the military and just sight seeing we have hit nearly 30 countries. Our best road trip so far was my first dream, Alaska. Western Canada, Yukon and Alaska has been by far the SWEETEST of trips, rough beautiful and wonderful people.BUT my second dream, not fulfilled, is Ireland. At 81 not sure that will be reached, but I sure want to.My grandson and his wife did a tour of Ireland using the Air’bnb’ route ad loved it. I also wanted to attend old ‘Saint Nick’s’ church over there. I miss his comments here at times.BUT
We’re taking my parents to Europe in May, they’ve never been. We’re going to Spain, Ireland, Germany and a day trip to Austria and Northern Italy. It will be our third time to Ireland and we’ll have 21 days clock time there after this trip. We absolutely love it. But, after this round, Israel is at the top of our list for sure, followed by at least 2 weeks on the Brittish Island, probably a week in England and one in Scotland.
THAT SOUNDS GREAT. We should have taken longer a few years ago. We landed in Germany, rented a car a drove around Europe. Switzerland wanted every thing in mama’s purse and some of the credit card! LOLWe have got to get to Ireland. ________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
Cojak, Switzerland is expensive, its best to hit it on a drive-through between Austria and Italy or Germany. Ireland is affordable, nearly every house along the way is a bed-and-breakfast, and the Euro is low right now too. We spent 10 days in Ireland this time last year, and even in the winter, Ireland is green and beautiful (but the days are pretty short and its chilly but not freezing). May and September seem to be the best months to go, just outside of high season and splendid weather.DD, if you want any tips on how I’ve done it I’ll be glad to share. Best thing is to subscribe to Scott’s Cheap Flights and be ready when something in your budget pops up, Our round-trips for May popped up last June for $277 from Dallas to Madrid, then from Madrid its $50 or so to anywhere you want to go, just add hops while you’re in Europe on the small, European carriers like RyanAir where you can actually fly from one country to another for $35 or even less! Plan at least 6 – 8 months out as you’ll get the best prices and availability on hotels.
I know this will stay on ACTS, but to keep from hunting it up later I did copy your comment good stuff.I saw on TV a few years ago flights to Frankfort for $277 RT and told my wife were were going if only to have dinner since at the time I had not been to Germany. I had always wanted to go to Germany since WWII since our home was filled with prayers & boxes for Bro and Sister Hermann Lauster. I finally made it, but still would like to go back for more time.Anyway, Thanks JD. Also RR I do appreciate the brain-storming you are doing lately. Good stuff. ________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
I’ve been to parts of Asia and I had a brief trip to Australia. The Holy Land and Europe. I wouldn’t mind going to Africa or South America. Antarctica is on the bottom of my list of continents to visit________________
Going to all these places that are communist or socialist. Ireland didn’t even help us fight in WW2! And yet you folks will go take good US dollars and give them to commies. FOR SHAME!I LOVE the west (USA). From mid-Kansas westward to Colorado, NM, AZ, UT, WY, and Montana. It was a highlight of my life to see my dad, raised in the hill country of the Appalachians, cry when he finally saw the Rockies. The BEST trip was when we just drove until we started feeling like it getting time to figure out where to stay, then accessing Priceline and getting a place to stay (my family and my mom and dad). Another trip, while good, was somewhat confining because we went the Airbnd route. So we felt pressed to get there when the place came available…and to stay there each night…even though we’d have liked to have stayed closer to Yellowstone (we were at Big Sky, MT).
BUt, but (to quote you) If we get to Ireland we will get a T-shirt! However, I am with you, I love it once I pass the Mississippi. It is great to drive a motor home out there, Most places you can even do a ‘U-turn’ when you miss a road. LOLAlso the last few years we have had to have reservations, and that does sort of cramp the fun ‘FREE STYLE’ way of traveling. ________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
When I was on the job market, I applied for positions in the UK and Ireland. I did a little research into the weather. 67 is a hot day in Ireland, but the low temperatures tend to be around the 40’s. There was an extremely hot day last year where it got to be about 82. In London, if it gets to the mid 70’s, that’s a hot day. If you see pictures of people in Ireland, they are wearing jackets and raincoats. If you look at all those old English period-piece movies or paintings from a few hundred years ago, the English wore coats, jackets, and other clothing suitable for warm weather. It must have been rough for well-to-do Englishmen in the southern colonies trying to look fashionable in 80 and 90 degree weather.If I were to spend a summer in either place, I’d probably miss having days that did not get up to 80 degrees. They probably think a 70 degree day is a good reason to go swimming at the beach________________
