Where to go to be in the know...about travel
It was a near perfect way to travel. We sat in comfortable seats on the train and watched the Scottish countryside roll by our window. The lush foliage of the Clyde River valley around Glasgow, Scotland’s largest city, gave way to a windswept landscape and craggy peaks of the Highlands.
Madrid is a perfect snap-a-sight and twitter or Facebook-it city. It’s a fun series of tapas snacks washed down-by-beer sort of city. And you don’t gain weight because Madrid is a walking city.
It’s a must! You can’t go to Dublin and not visit the Guinness Factory. Whenyou enter the building in a section of Dublin called St. James’s Gate. The option offered is a guided tour or just do it yourself, roam around the seven floors of the building, take your time and see what goes into making Guinness Ireland’s favorite beer.
