Appreciation post for Northern Ireland. I’m finalizing a proposal for a multi-generational family traveling to Ireland in August, and it has been the most fun! This active family wanted a non-stop itinerary with hiking, kayaking, and all the Game of Thrones sites they could manage. They’re going to see all the highlights like Benbulben, Giant’s Causeway, Carrick-a-Rede, Dunluce Castle, Connemara National Park, and more. My amazing UK partners have snagged a guide who is the only person in Ireland who is licensed to go in the fisherman’s cottage at Carrick-a-Rede! 😱 I can’t wait to get this family’s feedback on this amazing itinerary through this stunning country!

I didn’t even mention the fairy tombs, flying eagles experience, or the gorgeous countryside estate where they’ll be staying. I’ll be back with more on this incredible trip…
