I recently interviewed Jody of Have Kid Will Travel about her experience with kids at Glendine House in Arthurstown near Wexford. This property sounds like an amazing option to use as a home-base to explore this breathtaking part of Ireland.
Here’s what she said:
Glendine Country House is a gorgeous, historic Georgian manor. Full of antiques, the interior is like stepping back in…

The Cinque Terre – an area famed for the beauty of its coastline, its five picturesque villages (Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore) and its famous ancient footpaths. Before the railway has been constructed, these foothpaths were the towns’ only link to the outside world.
This coastal region is one of the most amazing locations I have ever experienced with its spectacular…
There’s one thing besides your identification you should never leave home. It’s your electronic ticket number.
Electronic or e-tickets as they are called, are getting to be standard. Most U.S and European carriers won’t issue paper tickets anymore, and if they do, they generally charge extra. And IATA – the International Air Transport Association – is close to their goal of…

We all know Darren Cronian for being an award-winner blogger on TravelRants, where he’s been delivering news and advice on travel for consumers for quite some time now. Darren is now up to something new and very interesting: MyLifeInLeeds is a brand new magazine on things do to, to see, to eat and to drink in Leeds, his hometown.

Whether you are a do-it-yourself, or book through a travel agent, hotel reviews are often an important part of the booking procress. Except they are also often the most controversial part of the process.
Tripadvisor, for example, uses as its motto – “Get the truth, then go.” And they allow “real” travellers to post reviews.
But one of the problems with…
Today’s post is a collection of questions I have been asked or heard asked in and about the state of Hawaii. And I promise I have not made any of them up.
The inspiration came from a manager from the Four Seasons Lanai, who told me that when he talked to a guest about spear-fishing, was asked

This week on Tripwolf Blog we loved the news of the upcoming iPhone App that will allow users to bring Tripwolf everywhere on their mobile! Still it’s just a sneak peak, but I’m sure soon we’ll have more news.
Another great post was about the top ten islands in the world, as users are asked to vote which island of the world…
We all know that word-of-mouth is one of the best ways to find decent accommodation. Without it, we can search the internet to our heart’s content, looking for deals. But if all we have to go on is a webpage or advert without any reviews, we could be very (unpleasantly) surprised when the time comes to check in.

Over and over again, I read travel writers saying that travelers should use travel agents for complicated or exotic trips, but that generally they can just book “simple trips” on their own online.
And as a travel agent, I can say honestly, that the service fees most agents get from domestic trips are often not what’s keeping us in business, so…
I toured China with a ballet in 1993. And back then, China was a steal, but I still spent thousands of dollars on the experience.
Now, you can see a good chunk of China for under $1,000, courtesy of Friendly Planet Travel.
I’m really impressed with this package. It includes return airfare from Los Angeles, all domestic flights, transfers, taxes, accommodation for…
