MORE INFORMATION

This is just a reminder that a letter will be mailed in the next couple of weeks with information regarding the trip.  The number one question has been cost.  We will be covering the bus in Ireland.  We will also be covering the apartment rentals in Venice.  With that said this is what I have so far.  This is a per person estimated cost.


Saturday 5/28 - everyone fly into Dublin.  Accommodations CityNorth Hotel.  Free shuttle from the airport.  For those who want to go into Dublin there is a coach for hire for 12.50Euro per person round trip.  For those up for it plan a trip to Man-O-War pub that evening via taxi.

Sunday 5/29 - breakfast at the hotel.  The bus will pick us up from the Hotel and head to Waterford for the afternoon.  Glen Bar in the evening.  A light dinner will be provided at the Glen Bar.  Accommodations at the Rhu Glenn Hotel in Waterford.

Monday 5/30 - breakfast at the hotel.  Wedding vow renewal followed by celebration party at the Glen Bar.  Dinner will be provided.  Accommodations at the Rhu Glenn Hotel in Waterford.

Tuesday 5/31 - breakfast at the hotel.  Head to Cobh.  Bus will drop off people not interested in Blarney Castle and Cork.  Bus will go on to Blarney castle with a stop in Cork on the way back to Cobh.  Plan to do some shopping at the Blarney Woolen Mills.  Cobh has attractions such as the Titanic museum.  Cobh is where the Titanic set sail.  Accommodations at Bella Vista Hotel & Self Catering Suites.

Wednesday 6/1 - breakfast at the hotel.  Head to Dingle located out on Dingle Peninsula.  If the weather is permitting we will offer a bus trip around the ring of Kerry for those interested.  Dingle is one of our favorite areas.  It is beautiful.  Accommodations split at 3 B&Bs.  Dingle Brewery Gate, Murphy's Pub and B&B, and Quayside B&B.

Thursday 6/2 - breakfast at the B&Bs.  We will head directly back to Dublin so those who did not get to visit Dublin on arrival will have plenty of time.  Lots to see and do in Dublin.  Evening trip planned to Man-O-War pub again for those interested.  Accommodations at Staycity Serviced Apartments.  All apartments are two bedroom apartments. 

Friday 6/3 - Flight to Venice departs Dublin at 7:20am on Aer Lingus.  Bus will pick everyone up early and we will head to the airport.  Plan to pickup breakfast at the airport.  Flight arrives Venice at 11:00am.  Venice is an hour ahead of Dublin.  We will catch a bus to Piazza Roma.  From there we suggest everyone buys a 3 day pass on the public water bus and we will take the public water bus to meet with the apartment people.  Accommodations will be one of the 5 apartments rented.  You can see these under popular links.  We will take our luggage to the apartments and then meet up to do a little grocery shopping so you have access to quick meals and snacks at the apartments.

Saturday 6/4 - Venice at your leisure.  We will provide you with things to see in Venice to give you an idea of some of the things we liked.  Accommodations will the same apartment as the night before.

Sunday 6/5  - Venice at your leisure.  Accommodations will be the same apartment as the night before.

Monday 6/6 - everyone will leave.  If you are flying out of Venice San Marco airport you will take the public water bus back to Piazza Roma and then a normal bus on to the airport.  If you are flying back to Dublin and will be using Ryan Air then you will need to take the public bus back to Piazza Roma and take the ATVO bus line to Venice Treviso airport.  it is about an hour ride.
If you are going on from Venice and plan to take the train you will be able to take the public bus straight to the train station. 

Again - this and a lot more will be included in the letter.
