“Last Summer my family and I were lucky enough to travel to our ancestral home in Ireland. My family and I flew out of JFK airport in Washington D.C. and flew Air France into Paris and then took a smaller flight to Ireland. Once I saw the Emerald Isle for the first time I couldn’t help but feel like I was home. The country is breathtaking with its rolling hills, mountains, valleys, sea-shores, cliffs, and countryside. My family and I traveled the Atlantic Way for our trip, so we went from Dublin to Galway to Bantry, with a few other towns in between.
We stayed in several Airbnb places which is a unique place to stay when one is traveling. My favorite one we stayed in had to be the castle that was in Cork. The castle was a tower with several floors of bedrooms, bathrooms, a kitchen, an entertainment room, a loft, and a rooftop patio. To climb up the stairs we had to constantly cling to the guard rope that went from the bottom to the top of the stairs right before the loft. We got used to using the rope and soon we could run up and down the steps with ease.
Ireland has a lot of fun places to see. There’s the Guinness Factory, the Aran Islands, the Cliffs of Moore, and the Circle of Kerry. The people of Ireland were welcoming to travelers which made the trip wonderful. I highly recommend vacationing to this country.”
