Scotland is the birthplace of golf and we wanted to try our hand at our favourite game over there. Was it different? Was it harder? Easier? Were we good enough? Did we need to prove our handicap to get on the courses? Could 2 Old Girls travel with heavy golf clubs? So many questions. So we searched the internet, asked people we knew in Scotland … Continue reading 2 Old Ladies Golf in Scotland
From our base in Dingle, we decided on a day trip to Ardfert, a small town just north of Tralee. It’s famous for its friary and cathedral ruins associated with Saint Brendan the Navigator. Our drive was almost exactly one hour. We chose the northern route, the Wild Atlantic Way, which has truly spectacular scenery. We scored a street parking spot outside the cathedral so … Continue reading Ardfert Village, Ireland…A Great Day Trip from the Dingle Peninsula
Renting a car in Ireland is not for the faint of heart. Six of us were planning a trip and wanted two cars. So the men began their research, each with their own style and favourite sources.

Cruise Highlights It was a dream to take a Cunard cruise and this did not disappoint. My girlfriend and I wanted to go to Scotland to visit her family. This last minute cruise into Southhampton was almost as inexpensive as flying with the added bonus of 7 days of excellent food, accommodations, entertainment and, best of all, meeting some great people. At Cocktail Hour one … Continue reading Queen Mary II then Scotland – 2017
Arrival We were very excited to return to Copenhagen this fall. We visited for 3 days in September 2017 …pre cruise…and it was just long enough to “wet our whistle” and make us want to see more of the city and surrounding areas. We found that Icelandair flights out of Halifax through Iceland were perfect, with each leg under 4 hours. Of course, flying all … Continue reading Copenhagen September 2018
