Our Personal Journey
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 : 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 : 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…
GUESTBLOGGER: delighted to share #blog by our niece Kerry who joined us on a trip to the fabulous #PalmSpring! I had the opportunity to join Doug and Michelle on what was a fabulous trip to Palm Springs in autumn 2019. Considering the time of year it was much hotter than I expected at a scorching…
TO & FROM There are no direct flights to Phoenix from Dublin , but plenty of one stop via USA East Coast or Mid-Western hubs. We flew via Chicago with Aer Lingus, surprisingly it is another 4 hours from Chicago to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), but with the time differential – 8 GMT,…
To & From: We flew to Rio via Heathrow with BA, bones of a 12-hour flight, you can shave a couple of hours off from Lisbon, but the longer flight to Lisbon from Dublin negates the overall benefit. BA have a mid-morning flight out that will get you to Rio that evening, and upon return…
To & From Los Angeles: Aer Lingus has direct flights to LA from Dublin, and they are always competitive, the only issue is that they arrive at 18.30 local time which is quite late if you are traveling into LA. It is also a long flight at 11 hours non – stop, on the plus…
