Wow, Ireland! Our family recently returned from a 7 day trip to Ireland, a tour that began in Dublin. We booked our trip through Peterson AFB, ITT office in conjunction with Ireland C-I-E Tours International. Our trip was terrific! From the very start, during our first night stay in Dublin, and throughout our tour and our return back to Dublin. What a won-derful adventure and great time we had. Every place we visited was beyond our expectations. The route we selected worked perfectly for our family and gave us a great opportunity to see and experi-ence many parts of the country. We elected to take the bus tour; our tour guide was the best. Because we had such a small group we explore more of the country side outside our normal tour route - thanks Dave you're the best. We visited authentic Irish pubs, local musicians, and local river dancers. Oh yes there was the Guinness tour as well, excellent!At the end of the day we were treated to some of the best accom-modations you could imagine. Every morning we were treated to a breakfast buffet and wonderful dinners at night and of course lots of fish and chips. Our travels included visits to Galway, Killarney, Ring of Kerry, Cliffs of Moher and Dublin. Our only complaint is we wish we'd have stayed longer. Thanks Renate for all your work in making this a great family adventure. Loretta and Ken
