{short description of image}Sunday - DEPART FROM HOME
Your vacation begins the moment you board your flight. Destination: DUBLIN.

Monday - DUBLIN/BELFAST
Belfast will surprise you! Belfast is a Victorian success story. Prosperity was built on trade - linen and shipbuilding. (The ill-fated Titanic was built here.) This cosmopolitan city still manages to keep its charm. Visit the authentic 19th century Crown Liquor Saloon, a restored national landmark, and the colorful Botanic Gardens. (D)

Dunluce CastleTuesday - GLENS OF ANTRIM/GIANT'S CAUSEWAY/PORTRUSH
The Antrim coast is the most scenic in all Ireland, nine wooded river valleys running down to the shore. It’s a coastline sprinkled with historic castles, churches and forts. Many are now just ruins but each holds the memories of a mysterious and heroic past. A past populated by seafaring Vikings and swashbuckling tales of the ancient Irish clans. See the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, offering some heart-stopping views of the surf below. Visit the strange natural phenomenon at Giant's Causeway, before a welcome drink at the Bushmill's Distillery. Learn the secrets of the special water from St Columb’s Rill, as you tour Old Bushmills, the world’s oldest licensed whiskey distillery. King James 1 granted the original license to distil "Uisce Beatha" in April 1608 and the crafts and skills employed there have changed little in 400 years.(B,D)

Wednesday - DERRY/OMAGH/ ENNISKILLEN
Entering the city of Londonderry, you will view the most notable and historic feature of the city – the Walls, which have been kept in a splendid state of preservation and are among the best-preserved city fortifications in the Western World. They rise to a height of 26 feet and in places are 30 feet wide. Almost a mile in circumference, they form a cobbled walkway around the Inner city and provide a unique promenade as you gaze out over the ever changing skyline. Entering the city of Londonderry, you will view the most notable and historic feature of the city – the Walls, which have been kept in a splendid state of preservation and are among the best-preserved city fortifications in the Western World. They rise to a height of 26 feet and in places are 30 feet wide. Your guide will lead you on a walk (approximately 45 minutes) along the broad expanse of the walls Almost a mile in circumference, they form a cobbled walkway around the Inner city and provide a unique promenade as you gaze out over the ever changing skyline. Visit the Victorian 1890 Guildhall, with it's impressive stained glass windows. Derry was where Amelia Earhart touched down, after her historic solo flight across the Atlantic. Pass small farm villages within sight of the bare Sperrin Mountains as you travel to the Ulster American Folk Park. Here, you enter a ship bound for America and emerge in a recreated Irish village of long ago. (B,D)

MussendenThursday - BELLEEK/DEVENISH EXCURSION
Visit the Belleek Pottery, producers of fine porcelain festooned with shamrocks or delicate trellis-like plates. Magnificent lake views abound on the ancient monastic site of Devenish Island, Ireland's best example of a round tower. Return to Enniskillen, with its old world style pubs and Georgian brick buildings. (B,D)

Friday - ARMAGH/NAVAN/DOWN
Discover the ancient ecclesiastical city of Armagh. At the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum, relive the history of transportation, including John DeLorean's car, and a Titanic exhibit(B,D)

{short description of image}Saturday - ARDS PENINSULA/DOWNPATRICK/NEWCASTLE
Travel the Ards Peninsula. Downpatrick Cathedral, burial site of St. Patrick is next. Ireland’s Patron Saint’s story in his own words and in the context of the period, uses state of the art interpretation that gives visitors a real understanding of the arrival and establishment of Christianity in Ireland. One surprise for visitors is that during a multi-media presentation, Dr. Ian Paisley’s voice can be heard. Dr Paisley extols the virtues of St. Patrick, encouraging the audience to visit those sites associated with the patron saint. Our destination is Newcastle, nestled under the Mourne mountains. The mountains of Mourne really do "sweep down to the sea" as Percy French wrote. (B,D)

Sunday - DUBLIN
Wwe arrive in Dublin, Ireland's capital, which has retained its Georgian elegance. The day is free to relax and explore Dublin's parks and Georgian squares.

The evening is free to enjoy this bustling city and friendly people -- maybe you'll want to visit one of Dublin's famous singing pubs! (B)

Enjoy the relaxed pace of Ireland, known for its bogs and turf fires, rich farmlands and scenic countryside. Travel through the Curragh, the horse breeding center of Ireland to Kilkenny.

Tour the Waterford Glass Factory to see the famous crystal being made. (B,L,D)

Wednesday - CORK/BLARNEY/KILLARNEY Our journey today will take us along the coastal route through Dungarvan and Youghal, an historic walled port and seaside resort. At Blarney we'll have the chance to kiss "The Stone", said to bestow eloquence on all who dare. Travel to Killarney. (B,D)
