Prelude to Scotland, Ireland and vicinity...

After two previous postponements of a trip to Scotland for Kay and I, we are hoping three is a charm.  We have optimistically booked two tours and two tour extensions for this summer (2022).

Our plans are to leave Atlanta on July 12 with our our friends, neighbours and frequent travel companions, Janet and Carl Wellborn.  This will be the beginning of of a 14 day Overland Adventure Travel tour titled "Scotland Revealed: Legends, Lochs & Highland Landscapes".  This is followed by a 5 day extension in the Shetland Islands.  On August 1, we start a small ship trip for two weeks the "Maritime Jewels of the British Isles: England, Wales, Northern Ireland & Scotland".  This in turn is followed by an extra night in Oxford and then a flight to Cork Ireland where we spend an additional 6 nights exploring the area and then fly back to Atlanta from Dublin on August 21.   The total trip time will be 40 days, just short of 6 weeks.


The main map shows our route starting at Glasgow and ending in Edinburgh.  The inset Post-Trip Extension to the right of Edinburgh shows our Shetland Island travels.


The second part of our travels on the 98 passenger M/V Corinthian are shown by the blue line from Aberdeen ending at Fishguard and overland to London where we fly to Cork, Ireland to begin our second trip extension.

Day 41 - August 21, 2022 - Fly from Dublin to Atlanta

-
 Well, our adventure in Scotland and Ireland has finally come to an end.  Since our flight from Dublin Airport wasn't until noon, we had a leisurely morning.  Our checked bag had to be outside the room at 7:00 AM, so we went down for breakfast at 7:15.  Our cab ride to the airport picked us up at 8:15.  There were eight of us who left at this time.  Six of us were on the same flight to Atlanta. Check-in was straight forward, but it was a slow process.  For some reason it took longer than normal to process each passenger.  After getting our boarding pass we proceeded up two levels to security.  This also took a while.  After clearing the airport security, we had to proceed to US security clearance.  This involved another full security check, including shoes off, etc. and going before a US customs agent.  The total time for check-in and security checks was about one and one-half hours.  The plus side is that when we arrived ...

 We were fed, packed and on the coach by 8:30 AM.  I learned the difference between a coach and a bus today.  A bus runs a regular route and picks up and drops off riders.  A coach is a hire for a specific purpose.  Denis, our guide, who has his share of Irish humor and blarney also said the difference between a coach driver and a bus driver was about 10 Euros a day. Our entertaining trip leader, Denis, who hales from Killarney in south west Ireland. Our first start today was at Avoca Handweavers Mill in Wicklow. Manual loom which was in use for production until a few years ago. One of the modern looms now in use. Following lunch at the Avoca village, we travelled another hour to the site of Monastery village of Glendalough. The countryside is stunningly beautiful here.  Glendalough is a glacial valley in County Wicklow, Ireland, renowned for an Early Medieval monastic settlement founded in the 6th century by St Kevin. The fine tower, built of mica-sla...

 There is not a great deal to post about today.  At 9:00 AM we boarded the coach for a 2 1/2 hour city tour.  It was interesting, but few stops for photos, so not much to share.   Ivy covered building in the Georgia Period style. A section of the original Dublin Wall dating from 1240 AD The parking area in front of an elementary school, I thought this was neat. We visited Phoenix Park, a 1700 acre entirely walled park.  The U.S. ambassador to Ireland has his home here.  There was a race of some nature taking place and runners were everywhere. Wellington Monument, not the most popular person in Ireland.  This of course was erected during British rule. Construction began in 1817 and opened in 1861.  It is 203 feet tall. The Guinness brewery, which is a very popular monument in Ireland. After the drive, we were given admission to the Epic Immigration Museum.  It is a large multimedia museum which is has been voted a top European Museum....
