Shannon Travel Blogs

We had only a short twenty-four hours in Shannon but we made the best of it. We decided to make a day trip to the Cliffs of Moher, with stops at Bunratty Castle and Durty Nelly’s.   The views of the Aran Islands and Galway Bay from the top of the cliffs are incredible. For those who like …

Catherine, Leigh Ann, and I had an uneventful flight from Birmingham, Alabama, to Shannon Airport on the Emerald Isle.  There wasn't an empty seat and it was impossible to catch a wink of sleep because of our excitement!  I had booked a driver that was to meet us at the airport and I didn…

Mike and I landed in Shannon and picked up the rental car. I drove us about 2 hours south to Kilarney, where we met Shea at a pub named Murphy's. After lunch, we watched the Ireland v. England rugby match before we headed out to find the B&B for our night's sleep.

some impressions from Ireland. First a couple of days in Dublin, then boating for a week on the Shannon (real cool ;-) and finally drive around ireland, ring of kerry, northern ireland, stopping at small pubs, visiting destilleries ...

Can it be the end of my European adventure? How could it have passed by so quickly? I now understand why so many people take off 6 months to a year to travel.. I'm sure that even this amount of time seems to fly by quickly. My sister and I decided to spend some extra cash on a lovely, quaint bed …

After two very long day of traveling, we finally made it to Ireland.  We were very happy to have the hotel in Atlanta where we could have our sleep and freshen up on our never ending lay-over.  Even with the hotel, it still made for an endless trip. We got into Shannon at about 7:3…

We left the hotel early this morning and headed for Waverly Station to board a train to Glasgow and our connecting flight to Shannon, Ireland. Sadly, the trip to Glasgow Airport was the easiest part of our day.Glasgow International Airport is not huge but a pain in the rear end. There are no check-…

My adventure to the Emerald Isles. This is only about 10% of the photos I took. These are the highlights of my trip. I spent 5 days there.

Its not really a vacation but I can't live in a country for four months and not say anything about it!

Gregg & I went on this trip to celebrate the anniversary of our first year together.

* British Columbia - a month travelling around in an old Buick (rented from Rent-a-wrek, bargain!) * Three weeks in California * Just over a week in Hawaii (loved it)

After arriving at the Shannon Airport via Dublin, our trip began! We got our rented car, a Toyota Starlet, a car I should note does not exist in the US. After noticing a huge dent in the front of the car we hopped in and hoped for the best! Our first stop: Newmarket-on-Fergus!
