2014 Best of Ireland Tour
Just now put down a deposit for the Best of Ireland Tour starting on May 10 2014. Ireland has been a dream of mine
for as long as I can remember. Got close a couple of years ago with the same tour but ended up canceling due to medical restrictions. I wanted to get one of the early tours and knowing the Ireland tours fill up quickly, I went ahead and made my deposit. This will be our first trip to Europe and couldn't think of a better place to start. One problem though is I don't know how I am going to survive almost the year long wait until May 2014,0. Guess I will start my research on all the areas we will be visiting and hopefully will help me to survive!

My husband wants to go on this trip in 2014. What made you decide on the May 10th date? We are considering going in late May.

When I first started researching this tour, my TA informed me the May 10 2014 tour was a regular tour but the subsequent one in May was a Small Capacity tour, I believe limited to 24 or so tourist and also the price was more than the regular ones.
Ultimately it came down to this would be our first trip to Europe and Ireland has always been on the top of my "Must" see list so I chose the first date available!
I was browsing the forums and saw your posts. My wife and I toured Ireland in 1998 and never expected that we would return, but as fate would have it, our son married an Irish lass (from Tipperary Town) and we have had the good fortune to return 5 times in the last 3 years. We've been there just about every time of year - late November, Christmas, spring and summer. Our son and daughter-in-law were married there on May 6th of 2012, so we spent 10 days there during the month of May. The weather in Ireland is often unpredictable, but we had glorious, sunny, beautiful weather for the wedding. As I recall we had a couple of brief showers, mostly overnight, but a light jacket was all that was generally necessary. I recall that we spent a couple of hours outside in a park after the ceremony, and the bridesmaids were in sleeveless gowns, and the groomsmen graciously gave them their jackets. But the men were fairly comfortable in shirt sleeves. Of course, it's cooler in the evening, and Tipperary is pretty far south, so you certainly may encounter some colder weather, but if I were travelling there in May I would bring a jacket, perhaps a sweater or light fleece, and with layering I think you should do fine.
ALSO, IS ANYONE ELSE TRAVELLING SOLO? I AM ALSO GOING DIRECTLY TO EDINBURG TO JOIN THE SCOTLAND, ENGLAND, WALES TOUR. ANYONE ELSE GOING?
HAPPY TRAVELS,
LARK
MY SECOND LEG WITH TAUK IS THE SCOTLAND ENGLAND WALES TOUR AND I AM GOING TO BE ATTENDING THE TATOO IN AUGUST. I'M SURE MY MONTH IN EUROPE IS GOING TO WHIZ BY FASTER THAN I WISH.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF THE INFORMATION,
MY VERY BEST REGARDS TO YOU BOTH,

We took the Best if Ireland tour in July of 2011 and we did stop at the Knock shrine. I still have the bottle of Holy Water we were able to fill ourselves.
Weather--part time drizzly some days and mostly cool all the time. Had to buy a jacket on the Dingle Peninsla.
Wonderful trip!
