Ireland Trip Presentation at
Athens State
Athens, ALA. – Athens
State University’s Alumni Association is hosting a trip presentation on the
upcoming trip to Ireland. The presentation will be on Monday, April 8, 2013 at
6:00 p.m. in the Learning Commons of the Library. Jack Brinson with Collette
Vacations will be on hand to show highlights of the trip and answer questions
for our travel to Ireland’s Coastal Treasures- November 7-15, 2013. If you are
traveling with us or thinking about traveling, please join us for the
presentation. Refreshments will be served.
The
travel program, open to anyone – not just Athens State alumni, introduces you to another side of the Emerald Isle. Visit
rollicking Dublin, historical Limerick, charming Kinsale, and Galway, “the City
of Tribes.” Tour the Old Midleton Distillery and learn how Irish whiskey is
made. Discover Ireland’s ‘wild west’ region of Connemara. Cruise Killary
Harbour, the only natural fjord in Ireland. Visit the Irish National Stud to
see majestic thoroughbreds. Learn about daily life with a visit to an Irish
farm. Step aboard the Jeanie Johnston, a recreated “famine ship.” Travel to
Kylemore Abbey, home to Ireland’s oldest community of Benedictine nuns. Explore
Ireland’s history at the ancient monastic site of Clonmacnoise and at the Cobh
Heritage Centre. Toast it all with a drink in Europe’s official ‘oldest pub!’
Included
in the price of the trip are airfare from Huntsville, hotel, hotel transfers
and 11 meals (7 breakfasts and 4 dinners). Rates range from $2,919 for triple occupancy
accommodations to $3,249 per person for single occupancy. For more information
