Titanic Experience Belfast
Titanic Experience Belfast

For years something has drawn me to visit Ireland. I'm not sure why, but there was a part of me that felt that I needed to be there.  When I went finally it was more than I could have hoped for. Plus, I finally was able to pay my respects to those who perished on the Titanic over a hundred years ago on our visit to the Titanic Museum in Belfast.  I was moved to tears.  But there was more than the green rolling pastures, and historical sites, there were the people.


On our trip out to Trim Castle to learn about why castles were built in certain places and how the residents lived, we were met by locals who embraced us. Their stories and pride in their culture was not only entertaining but incredibly educational.  Going and speaking to people whom had never met us, yet made us feel welcome was, to be honest, foreign (pardon the pun) to me.  And, it was heart warming. So much so, that I decided then and there, I wanted more of this spectacular place in the world in my life. But how? I'll get to that shortly.


In addition to Ireland we had the pleasure of visiting Wales. Again, incredible scenery and lovely people. We enjoyed our fish and chips thoroughly. We tried them everywhere we went! And, we loved the fact that sheep outnumbered people 4:1. Life is suspended in time there, in a good way. People still talk to one another. Again, how can I get more of this in my life.


Scotland and England were also a part of our journey. Scotland had me searching for the stones from Outlander. Perhaps I would fall through onto my own adventure in the past. Alas, I am still here. I had lovely conversations with shop owners while purchasing our Christmas ornament keepsakes. For some reason this rarely happens at home. Connecting with people seemed a part of life. A part I so desperately wanted in my life.


After returning home, I decided to further my travel knowledge and learn as much about the areas I visited. I researched vendors who offer travelers the opportunity to experience these lovely places in a variety of ways.  We visited via Disney Cruise and enjoyed thoroughly visiting so much in such a short time. But, there are other options too. You can do a self drive option or a tour option. There really is something for every type of traveler and every age group.  CIE Tours is one such provider and I have become certified with them so that I can help travelers find the perfect itinerary for them. Want a personal tour we can do that. A family reunion, yep! Seriously, if you can think of it we can probably accommodate you.


So whether you want to visit because you have ancestors from these lovely locations, or you want to see for yourself if you can time travel through the stones in Scotland, please consider contacting me. I'd love to help you plan a vacation you will talk about for years to come.

Even COVID couldn’t diminish the magic of Disney!
Andrea was incredible! From the moment we started exploring the idea of a Disney World trip she was super responsive and knowledgeable about the parks, hotels and specials! She walked us through the different properties, price points and even amenities at each of the locations she suggested. Once we booked she provided many details on how to reserve the parks, dining reservations and more to make our stay as easy and enjoyable as possible! She even went above and beyond offering to help us get dining reservations at highly sought after locations! while on the trip she checked in and even reminded us to register for the queue fir Star Wars Rise of the Resistance! Andrea is amazing at what she does and a great person! I can’t wait to book with her again!!
