In the past four years, we have taken in two Titanic experiences in the United States: (1) Las Vegas’ Titanic Exhibit and (2) Orlando’s Titanic Experience. These two exhibits display a variety of artifacts from the wreckage and each do a nice job of delivering a well-rounded...

“Disgusting.  Nasty.  You’re not actually going to kiss the stone, are you?  Do you know what the locals do the stone at night?”  All of these seemed to be on the minds of the travelers on our tour.  Quite honestly, we didn’t know if we would kiss the stone. “So,...

Dublin easily keeps a traveler busy.  While we explored Dublin, we took in an assortment of traveler’s delights. “Some experiences we enjoyed while in Dublin included the Kilmainham Gaol, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, An Evening of Food, Folklore, and Fairies @ Brazen Head pub,...
