Our Personal Journey
Mexico is a perfect escape for the New Year, dry sunny and above all hot, a little cooler in Mexico City due to its altitude. Last minute change of plans as hurricane Otis flattened Acapulco on October 25th, so that was struck of the itinerary in favour of Manzanillo, some 500 miles along the pacific…
Tampa To Palm Beach Road Trip via Naples Over the years we were frequent visitors to the popular Florida strip around Disney – Kissimmee/Haines City, even spending one New Year at Celebration a Disney Master Planned Community, so no surprise fake snow was falling on New Years eve. These days the attraction of queuing endlessly…

FOUR SEASONS RESORT COSTA RICA AT PENINSULA PAPAGAYOCosta Rica is a rugged, rainforested Central American country with coastlines on the Caribbean and Pacific, it is a peaceful small democracy, barely 200 miles wide and 300 miles long, it is sandwiched between Panama to the South and Guatemala to the North, Its capital, San Jose, is…
To & From: San Diego is a long haul destination with no direct flights out of Dublin. We decided to visit whilst in California, having flown to LA and after spending a week in Palm Springs, drove around the Mt San Jacinto State Park and through the Palomar mountains to arrive a couple of hours…
To & From: We travelled to Florida over a dozen times between 2004 and 2008, benefitting or perhaps justifying owning a property at Southern Dunes Golf and Country club, a gated community in Haines City roughly a 15 minutes drive South of Kissimmee. See useful link 1. Flights to Orlando are many and varied, some…
To & From : Boston is such an easy City to visit, a little over 7 hours out and 6 back, the -5 GMT allows for a long weekend visit, these days it would almost be a commute option, Aer Lingus flight returns are amongst the first to arrive in Dublin around 5 am. Frequent…
To & From: Dallas is perhaps an odd location for a visit unless you have an interest in JFK which we are big fans, the famed TV drama, or more unlikely you wish to relive a cattle drive featuring cowboys and a herd of Longhorn steer. Dallas, Texas is the state’s third most populous city,…
To & From: The Dominican Republic is a picture perfect Caribbean island that shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti to the west. It’s known for its beautiful beaches, fabulous resorts, golfing and year round sunshine. Its terrain comprises rainforest, savannah and highlands, including Pico Duarte, the Caribbean’s tallest mountain. Notably days are short with…
To & From : Chicago has great connectivity with Ireland so plenty of flight options, either one stop or direct, if as we have visited for long weekends including this featured visit over St Patricks day, direct is the best options. Flight times a little over 8 hours out and 7 back work well, Aer…
