Looking for a driver in Ireland?

A River that flows both ways

This is a river that actually does flow both ways as it is tidal. This in itself would not be unusual but the unusual thing about this one is that it actually looks like it is flowing downhill when it is flowing either way.

Now is the time when the heat comes on and the enquiries start to come in. I find that most North Americans like to start their planning early and that suits me fine as i have only so many dates available for tours. If you are interested please do not delay as i hate to disappoint anybody. It will always be first come, first served. There will be good value again this year as prices have come down due to the recession, and that is no harm at all. There is great value in food here and also in general shopping. Hotel prices have also become much more attractive and, eventhough i always go for the better quality hotels, i am now getting better prices than ever. It is also worth bearing in mind that i get better prices than you will yourself and this is reflected in your price.
One of our sons from New York is now on holiday here with us with his little boy and it is lovely to have them for a while. Our son in Chicago will be here at the end of the month for a couple of weeks also and he will have his eldest son with him too. They visit regularly, sometimes with all of the family but occassionally just with one or two of them. We ourselves have not been over to the USA for a couple of years now but i am sure that it will not be too long before we get to visit again. I get so many invites from all of my friends over there it is hard to keep saying no. I would love to be able to visit all of them, and what a treat that would be. Maybe some day.
Life goes on here as usual and it looks like we will have a new government sometime around March or April. It will be interesting to see what they intend to do to get us out of the mess we are in. I know that time and plenty of honest effort will be the answer, but we Irish are a resilient bunch. I know that tourism will be one of the big factors in our recovery and the American market is a huge part of that sector. Your trip to Ireland will not only be w wonderful adenture for you but will also be a patriotic gesture of support for the land of your ancestors. Ever since our first Irish emigrants reached your shores their contribution to those left behind here in Ireland was of great benefit to us. The parcels that came home regularly, the dollars in the envelopes at Christmas, the loyalty shown by our Irish American relatives who purchased our Irish exports and helped our growing economy is still needed. I know that that support will always be there just as is our support for our own in the USA. We have always be good for one another.
Maybe i will get to meet you this year. If so, it will be my pleasure to help you to enjoy all we still have to offer in this wonderful country, a country which is wounded but far from dead.
