Five reasons to visit Ireland Now

I love that every time I go to Ireland I feel welcome. It's true, whether it's the receptionist at the hotel, the taxi driver, the clerk at the woolen shop or the local I ask directions from, they make me feel welcome. I know I'm spending money and I represent tourist dollars but that's true anywhere I go. It just feels different in Ireland. They want to tell me where they've been in the US and what I shouldn't miss while I'm there. I like the way it feels.

I love the food. I probably wouldn't have said this the first time I went to Ireland. Today  the dairy, the beef, the lamb, the seafood and the produce are outstanding. One night at the Abbeyglen Castle Hotel  I had the most fabulous meal of mussels and salmon, paired with the most wonderful white wine. The cozy dining room,  overlooking  a beautiful garden, was being lovingly overseen by the owners Paul and Brian Hughes. And it was perfect. The truth is that a lot of meals stand out like that from coast to coast. The scones at Powerscourt are the best I've ever had and what I wouldn't do to get the recipe.

I love the size of the country. You don't have to spend months here to see the things you shouldn't miss. From Dublin to Shannon it's a 3 1/2 hr drive. From the Giant's Causeway to Waterford, it's only 4 1/2 hours. And from Cork to Sligo it will take you just a bit over 4 hours and worth the trip.

I love the scenery. Ireland's breathtaking landscapes seem untouched and remote. From the rolling hills of Connemara, to the mysterious Skelling St. Michael, to the Rock of Cashel, to the Giant's Causeway, every drive has a pot of gold at the end of the day. Even Dublin is unique among European capitals with its colorful Temple Bar Area, Trinity College, Georgian Manor Houses and St. Stephen Green.

I love that its affordable and only 7 hours from New York to Dublin or even less to Shannon.  I like to fly into Dublin and out of Shannon. With its charming Bed & Breakfast options or small family run boutique hotels throughout the country you can easily spend 7 days here without breaking the bank and they speak English with a wonderful Irish brogue.

It's one of my favorite places in the world. And every time I go back I see something new.

    I have been in the travel industry for over 25 years, as a flight attendant, travel agent and travel writer. I think all travelers should have the kind of inside information that professional travelers have. The business has changed over the years and those on the front lines deserve a lot of credit. And what they know can help all of us get more out of our travel experience. 
    Welcome Aboard.
