Chris,
In your quiet and confident manner, you really did make a positive difference and we appreciate it very much. Bud and I will definitely be taking more Chamber sponsored trips in the future. The accommodations on the Ireland trip were excellent (by our standards, anyway), and we thought the sites visited gave a good sampling of what Ireland has to offer. We wished we didn't have to spend so much time on the bus, but I don't see how that could be avoided given the timeframe and overall tour costs. It was helpful and interesting when Paddy gave us background information--be it historical or current events--as we drove through the countryside. Also liked the Irish music, which helped create atmosphere.
We enjoyed the food--especially the buffets, and thought the round tables facilitated getting to know others in the group better. Also assigning and rotating seats on the bus.
Thank you for everything you did that made our trip so pleasant and successful.
Varya and Bud Fish
Ireland Travelers-November 2008
Rock of Cashel is the most visited Heritage site in Ireland.
It was our first experience in doing a tour. The price was so good we couldn’t resist. India was interesting, but it was Nepal that we really enjoyed and would love to return to. One highlight (among many) was the opportunity to fly up close to Mt. Everett. We went with the local Chamber of Commerce—they’ve carved out a niche in the international travel world, and do it really well.
