A Brother Honored
A trip to Ireland has always been on my family's bucket list. Originally my sister, younger brother and I were going to travel to Ireland on a sibling trip. Then my brother Garret got cancer, and the trip never happened. My sister Michelle and I decided that we wanted to honor Garret by going anyway and visiting those places we would have if he lived. I can't imagine any tour company could have done better. It was a wonderful combination of tourist attractions (Blarney Castle) with unique elements (tea and scones at a sheep farm.). Garret would have loved the Teeling Tour (topnotch), Blarney Castle, and the medieval feast. Often there were tears as we enjoyed this events ourselves. This was truly an unforgettable trip. Johnny was an wonderfully knowledgeable driver and guide! He inserted a few extra stops that added even more to our trip.
