It’s said that Ireland, once visited, is never forgotten. The Irish landscape has a mythic resonance, due as much to the country’s rich history as its claim to being the home of the fairies and the ‘little people’. May we suggest a few unforgettable ways to experience this Emerald Isle?
The best way to get to know a town or a country is to immerse yourself in its culture and daily life. Shop for groceries in the local market; cook regional specialties in your own kitchen. With that in mind, James TravelPoints is please to offer a unique “Rent an Irish Home” program. This allows travelers to discover Ireland at their own relaxed pace. Great for families or friends traveling together, these fully furnished homes sleep five to six people and featur central heating, full kitchens, televisions and telephones. (Some even offer on-site tennis facilities!). All provide on-site management.
Prefer to be on the move? Our Self-Drive Ireland program offers B&B accommodations in farmhouses, town homes and country homes - all of them approved by the Irish Tourist Board. This package includes seven nights’ lodging and selected B&Bs (stay in a different one every nigh if you wish), full Irish breakfast each day and rental car.
What about glorious days spent pedaling through the refreshing green of the Irish countryside? The gentle back roads meander from rugged coastal cliffs to lush meadows, while cheery pubs provide a welcome refuge from chance rain showers. It is said the biking is good, and the Guinness is even better. This trip will take you from Cork City to County Kerry and throughout the Northwest region.
It’s time to experience the gracious, friendly inhabitants of a land “not so far away”. For more details or other interesting ways to visit Ireland, call the experts at James TravelPoints 1-800-538-7461, www.travelpoints.com.
