Ireland

What’s not to love? From clear (ish) blue skies to blades of green covering the hills it’s a sight you can’t imagine until you’ve seen it with your own eyes. The warm welcome the locals give you upon arrival makes up for the brisk mornings during a cold winter. Whether you want to warm up some more with a peat fire or a tall pint of Guinness, the choice is yours. Take a few more steps past the pub and you’re likely to see history before your eyes. From 13th century monasteries to BC burial grounds and Abbey’s you can explore, Ireland is no small wonder. What it lacks in size, its makes up for in history and culture. Cliffs to countryside, Ireland is jam packed with wonders. Head over to the nearest pub, in the Temple Bar District or a small unknown town, it will be filled with lively music and even more lively people.

Walking through the cityTrafalgar Square
From Trafalgar Square to Westminster Abbey, London is nothing short of things to see. The National Museum of Natural History and the British Museum are surprisingly free. Leave most of your day open for the British Museum, as it takes close to 3+ hours to make your rounds. Exploring the city is made easy with the tube, buying an Oyster card is the quickest way to go. You may hop on and off wherever you’d like, and wait times are usually less than 5 minutes. Hyde Park’s Winter Wonderland, a quick tube ride away, was filled with delicious food, music and drinks. Christmas shops lined the way as you explored its endless fun. Twinkling lights seemed to pave every street while walking through the city. If you are thinking of going to Europe, London is a “must see” on your checklist.

Less than 2 weeks!

Has anyone ever said that sometimes the lead-up is better than the trip? Well, I don’t think this will be the case in 18 days. We’ve been counting down the days for over a year, and the time is almost here. In 18 days we will embark on the trip of a lifetime… 19 days in Europe! 3 weeks of adventuring and traveling, throughout London, Edinburgh, and Dublin. We will spend Christmas & Boxing Day in London and New Years in Edinburgh. We will tour the cities, “rubbing elbows with locals” and witnessing local traditions for each holiday. Each day feels longer as it gets closer. I am sure those 19 days will fly by, but these next 18 will feel like a lifetime. This trip was planned and booked by Expedition Experts travel group. Follow us here to get an inside look of what one of our trips could entail for you!
