I love the hustle and bustle, all the languages, the mystery of trying to figure out where someone has been or is going.

BTW I broke my decades long promise to myself that I would NEVER buy slides. I despise them (and crocs). Go ahead, judge me. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ I have TSA precheck so I do not have to remove my shoes going through the check in. But....for a long flight overnight they'll come in handy in the middle of the night when I need the potty!

I'd appreciate prayers for a safe journey!

Iโ€™m convinced there are only two kinds of travelers: the โ€œspread every outfit across the bed two weeks earlyโ€ peopleโ€ฆ and the โ€œpanic-pack while charging my phone at 4 a.m.โ€ people. ๐Ÿ˜‚

I always think Iโ€™m going to be organized and have cute little outfit piles ready ahead of time, but the suitcase doesnโ€™t get touched until the day of departure. Somehow I need the pressure of โ€œwe leave in three hoursโ€ to make decisions. Until then, Iโ€™m just emotionally attached to every possible outfit option. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ˜’

I don't text\call\stalk them while they are out on their adventure, but I do keep them in mind. Like Momma sending her baby off to church camp for the first time!

Your vacation is like mine. I want everything to be as perfect as possible. So getting a text like this from a first time client makes my heart happy! I checked in at the end of their Alaskan cruise tour, which was gorgeous!

Dates are not finalized yet, but this would NOT be your typical big-box tour company experience.

The tour would be led by my friend, Peter Cooney, who is currently ranked the #6 tour guide in Ireland, and trust meโ€ฆ the man knows his stuff. This would be a more intimate, unique experience built around firsthand local knowledge and authentic experiences.
Think:
โ˜˜๏ธ Castles
โ˜˜๏ธ Cozy pubs
โ˜˜๏ธ Hidden gems
โ˜˜๏ธ Scenic countryside
โ˜˜๏ธ Local stories and culture
โ˜˜๏ธ Hand-picked experiences you wonโ€™t typically find on standard tours

One of the things I love most about Ireland is getting beyond the major tourist stops and truly experiencing the heart of the country โ€” and thatโ€™s exactly the kind of trip this would be.

My clients on the Shades of Ireland tour had this to say about yesterday:
Day 6: We took a break from the tour group to spend the day exploring Killarney on our own. Weโ€™re staying at The Great Southern Hotel which is beautiful and has amazing gardens on the grounds. We toured St. Maryโ€™s Cathedral in Killarney which was built in 1842 then spent the day shopping. We were invited to a concert at St. Maryโ€™s Church of Killarney which is an Anglican Church. The Concordia University A Capella Choir from Nebraska performed an evening concert that was amazing.

PS - I happened upon a choir in Krakow, Poland that I got to experience during my individual time exploring. Such a fabulous experience!

Choice is always yours! Just be back on the bus before it heads to the next destination! ๐Ÿ˜

When I was in high school, I thought I wanted to be a journalist. In fact, I had a full-ride scholarship to Judsonโ€ฆ which, of course, I never utilized.

Now, years later, Iโ€™ve found myself writing again โ€” this time sharing my passion for travel and encouraging others to get out and go see the world. Inspiring women and active, mature adults to travel confidently has been incredibly heartwarming for me.

Getting to know the owners/editors, Auburn and Lisa, has been such a pleasure, and Iโ€™m so grateful for the opportunity to be part of something that encourages people to embrace new experiences at every stage of life.

Stay tuned for the next edition coming out in July! You will not want to miss it!
