Itinerary At a Glance
Day 01: LONDON
Meet & Hotel Transfer
Two Hour London ‘Orientation drive’
Meal Plan: Supper
Accommodation: The Royal National Hotel or similar (3-star)
Following arrival and customs formalities at LHR, the group will be greeted and escorted to their London hotel by private motor coach. En route to the hotel we embark on a two-hour guided ‘Orientation Drive’ of the West End and the City of London. We pass such landmarks as the Houses of Parliament, Downing Street, Big Ben, Piccadil-ly Circus, Trafalgar Square and Westminster Abbey. On arrival at the hotel we check in and the remainder of the day is at leisure to relax and get over jet lag.
Day 02: LONDON
Full Day Tour: Buckingham Palace, Tower of London and Jack the Ripper Walk
Meal Plan: Breakfast
Accommodation: The Royal National Hotel or similar (3 star)
This morning we visit Buckingham Palace, built in 1703 CE by the Duke of Buckingham. When George III be-came king soon after, he liked the palace so much that he bought it from Buckingham, and English kings and queens have lived in it ever since. Buckingham Palace has been the official London residence of the British mon-arch since Queen Victoria ascended the throne in 1837 CE. Located at the end of the Mall, a wide avenue lead-ing from Trafalgar Square, the palace faces the Victoria Memorial, a statue of Queen Victoria. A statue of Nike, the ancient Greek goddess of victory stands in front of the palace, also in memory of Queen Victoria. The royal ban-ner flies from on the roof when the monarch is in resi-dence, and the famous Changing of The Guard takes place in the palace forecourt every day from April to Sep-tember and every other day from October to March. This is perhaps the most popular event to be viewed at Buck-ingham Palace. We visit the Buckingham Palace State Rooms, still very much in use today for state occasions and visits from visiting monarchs and presidents. Buck-ingham Palace is attended night and day by special troops of the British Army. These troops work in shifts, like all guards. Each time a new shift comes on, there is a very colorful ceremony called the "Changing of the
Guard." The bugle call at this time suggested the music for the song that starts, "They're changing Guards at Buckingham Palace, and Christopher Robin went down with Alice."
We attend the late morning ceremonial mounting of the guard at the Horse Guards Parade. After some free time to purchase our own lunches, in the afternoon we depart for the infamous Tower of London. The Tower offers an insight into England’s glorious and not so glorious past, from the impressive White Tower, begun in 1076 CE by William the Conqueror, to the priceless Crown Jewels exhibition. Founded nearly a millennium ago and expand-ed upon over the centuries, the Tower of London has pro-tected, housed, imprisoned and been for many the last sight they saw on Earth. It has been the seat of British government and the living quarters of monarchs, the site of renown political intrigue, and the repository of the Crown Jewels. It has housed lions, bears, and (to this day) flightless ravens not to mention notorious traitors and framed members of court, lords and ministers, cler-gymen and knights. The Tower of London is one of the oldest palaces, fortresses, and prisons in Europe. Con-structed by William the Conqueror on a site which Claudi-us, the Roman Emperor, had built a fort more than a thousand years earlier; traces of the Roman Wall can still be seen in the Tower. As king succeeded king, the for-tress was enlarged. Towards the end of the 12th century Richard I encircled the tower with a moat fed by the River Thames. The moat was drained in 1830 where upon many human bones were found. Late afternoon we return to our hotel.
Tonight we depart for the crooked, cobbled alleyways of gas lit Whitechapel to follow Jack the Ripper's blood-stained trail. We join Victorian police as they hunt the Rip-per through a warren of crumbling back streets. We in-spect the murder sites, sift through evidence, and elimi-nate suspect after suspect. We search the doorway where the only substantial clue was discovered, visit the corner where a lady met the Ripper and lived to tell the tale, view the wall on which a sinister message was scrawled, and explore the building where the last victim desperately sought shelter before she was murdered. Finally, by the light of a lone lamp and in the shadow of an abandoned Victorian building, we will unmask the Rip-per himself.

Day 03: BATH
Drive Bath via Stonehenge, Oxford University, Royal Crescent
Meal Plan: Breakfast
Accommodation: The Hotel Royal or similar (3 star)
This morning we depart London for our drive to Bath (187k / 116mi – 2 hrs) via Stonehenge and Oxford where we tour the University. Our first stop is Stonehenge; locat-ed on windswept Salisbury Plain, Stonehenge has per-haps the most dramatic and mystical effect of all Eng-land’s monuments, and is certainly the world’s most well-known megalithic site. The National Trust owns and maintains the 1450 acres of down land surrounding the famous monument, including some fine Bronze Age bar-row groups, and the ‘Cursus’, variously interpreted as an ancient racecourse or processional way. Stonehenge is now surrounded by barbed wire, which rather detracts from the visit. Non-the-less, the monument is impressive and its ancient value far outweighs the clumsy contempo-rary protection. Who were the people who built it? Why did they build it? Where did the stones come from? How were they transported and erected at the site? The 5000-year old mystery of Stonehenge confounds the experts even today, and will certainly provide plenty of stimulating thoughts as we wander round this ancient site. After our visit we re-board our coach and drive to nearby Oxford, where we embark on a tour of the university. Oxford, the ‘City of Dreaming Spires’, is famous the world over for its University and its place in history. For over 800 years, Oxford has been a home to royalty and scholars, alt-hough people are known to have lived in the area for thousands of years. Today the city is a bustling cosmo-politan town. With its mix of ancient and modern, there is plenty to do. We embark on a walking tour of Oxford whose hushed courtyards have inspired generations of scholars and writers such as Lewis Carroll who wrote 'Alice in Wonderland', C.S. Lewis who wrote 'Chronicles of Narnia' and the immortal J.R.R. Tolkien, author of 'Lord of the Rings'. On our walking tour we visit Christ Church College, where Harry Potter scenes were filmed, see the Bodleian Library and the picture-perfect college court-yards for which Oxford is justifiably famous. After our visit we drive to Bath and visit the striking Royal Crescent, a row of Georgian architectural magnificence used as the set for the film Oliver Twist en route to our hotel for check in.
Day 04: BURY
Drive Bury via Stratford upon Avon, 2hr Stratford walking tour and Warwick Castle
Meal Plan: Breakfast
Accommodation: Premier Inn Manchester Bury or similar (3 star)
This morning we to Stratford upon Avon (115k / 71mi – 1.5 hrs), the birth place of William Shakespeare, and on arrival immediately embark on a 2hr walking tour. We visit Anne Hathaway’s Cottage, Shakespeare’s Birthplace, and the Church in which William Shakespeare is buried. Steeped in culture and history and set on the banks of the River Avon in beautiful rural Warwickshire, Stratford is one of the most important tourist destinations in the UK. William Shakespeare (1564-1616 CE) was born in a house on Henley Street, which is preserved intact. From the age of seven to a bout 14, William attended Stratford Grammar School, receiving a well-rounded education. At the age of 18 he married Anne Hathaway, who was 25 - seven years his senior and three months pregnant. She was of 'yeoman' stock - her family owned a farm one mile west of Stratford in Shottery. He endured her until he could stand it no longer and fled to London to become an actor. He then became actor-manager and part-owner in the Blackfriars and afterwards the Globe Theatre. He was a first-rate actor, but it is as a writer of plays that he has achieved lasting world-wide fame.

“It was the best
conference I’ve even
been to!
-Christine Steinke, Alumni
His plays are thought to be the finest ever written in any language – although there is much mystery surrounding who actually wrote the plays of Shakespeare, as the evi-dence strongly indicates that Shakespeare was simply a front man for the writings of a royal or noble penman, and not the author himself. After our walking tour we depart Stratford for Warwick (14k / 9mi. – 30 min), where we visit Warwick Castle. Warwick Castle is traditionally associat-ed with the earldom of Warwick, one of the oldest noble seats in England. Legend has it that the first fortification of significance was erected by Ethelfleda, the daughter of Alfred the Great, in the year 914 CE. This almost certainly replaced older wooden fortifications which had proven ineffective against marauding Danes, who sacked the town during the reign of her father. This fortification was part of a network built to protect the Kingdom of Wessex. It is England’s greatest preserved castle. After our tour we drive to Bury (209k / 130mi – 2.5 hrs.) and check into our hotel.

Half Day Tour: Falls Rd, Shankill, Harland & Wolf f
Meal Plan: Breakfast
Accommodation: Wellington Hotel or similar (3 star)
This morning we drive to Liverpool and catch the passen-ger ferry to Belfast. On arrival we are met, and immedi-ately depart for a half day orientation tour of Belfast. We visit the Victorian buildings, the Harland & Wolff Dock-yards and the Falls Road and Shankill residential areas – the front line during the modern fight for Irish independ-ence. After our visits we check into the hotel. The remain-der of the day is at leisure.
Day 10: BELFAST
Londonderry Excursion, Giant’s Causeway
PM Workshop
Meal Plan: Breakfast
Accommodation: Wellington Hotel or similar (3 star)
This morning we depart for a full day excursion to Lon-donderry (116k / 72mi – 1.5 hrs.) via a visit to the surreal and dramatic Giants Causeway Often described as the
Photo retrieved from: www.burydigest.co.uk Photo retrieved from: www.orangesmile.com Photo retrieved from: www.ccisabroad.org
‘Eighth Wonder of the World’, the causeway was declared Ireland’s first World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1986. Located on the north coast two miles north of Bushmills, the causeway is an area of approximately 40,000 inter-locking basalt columns, the result of an ancient volcanic eruption during the Tertiary period some 50-60 million years ago. The columns were formed as a result of re-peated outpourings of volcanic basalt. There are approxi-mately 40,000 columns, some reaching over 12m (40ft) in height. However, before science discovered factual ex-planations, religions, legends and fables were invented to help explain our world, and many remain convinced that the causeway’s origins lie in legend. The Causeway’s legend is that the Irish giant Finn fell asleep before cross-ing to Scotland on the causeway that crossed the sea and joined the two kingdoms. He woke up to find Benan-donner, a Scottish giant, on the other side looking at him and preparing to come to Ireland. Finn realised Benan-donner was much bigger than he was and would win any battle, so he ran to his wife Oonagh to ask what he should do. Oonagh disguised Finn as a baby and put him in an enormous cradle. Benandonner saw the huge ‘child’ in the cradle and wondered how big his father was. Hav-ing second thoughts, Benandonner returned to Scotland and destroyed the Causeway as he returned home. What remains of this sea crossing bridge is today’s Giants Causeway, and many today still prefer their legend. And who can blame them? After our visit we continue to Lon-donderry where the afternoon is free for Workshops. Our bus and escort will be available to transfer us to and from the workshop location. After our workshop we drive back to Belfast and our hotel.
Day 11: DUBLIN
Drive Dublin, PM at Leisure Meal Plan: Breakfast and Lunch Accommodation: Wynn’s Hotel or similar (3 star) This morning we drive to Dublin (238k / 148mi – 4hrs.) crossing the border with Ireland, and stopping at a con-venient restaurant en route for lunch (included). On arri-val in Dublin we check into the hotel. The rest of the day is at leisure.
Day 12: DUBLIN
Half Day Tour: Trinity College, Book of Kells, St. Pat-rick’s, Guiness Storehouse
PM at leisure
Meal Plan: Breakfast and Lunch
Accommodation: Wynn’s Hotel or similar (3+ star) Today we take a half day walking tour of Dublin. We visit Trinity College, Dublin’s famous 16
th century university
which houses the famous Book of Kells. We next visit St Patrick’s Cathedral, before continuing to the Guinness Storehouse at St James Gate for lunch. After lunch we return to the hotel. The afternoon is at leisure. There is much to do. Dublin is best seen on foot, and for those who wish to walk a venture might take us to the statue of the legendary Molly Malone, Davy Byrne's, a pub made famous by James Joyce in Ulysses, Dublin's smallest pub, the Dawson, and Temple Bar, Dublin's equivalent to Paris' Left Bank. Other places to see are the famous Ha'penny Bridge over the River Liffey to Dublin's main street and one of the widest boulevards in Europe, as well as the General Post Office, HQ of the 1916 Rebel-lion. Ask your guide for route advice.

worth it!”

Day 13: GALWAY
Drive to Galway via the Cliffs of Moher
Dunguaire Castle
Meal Plan: Breakfast
Accommodation: Western Hotel or similar (3 star)
Today we explore some of Ireland’s most beautiful scen-ery. We drive to the rugged coastline of The Burren, where we view the Cliffs of Moher, visiting Dunguaire Castle in the picturesque village of Kinvarra en route. Dunguaire Castle was built in 1520 CE by the O'Hynes clan on the picturesque shores of Galway Bay. The re-stored 16
th century tower house sits on a rocky outcrop
on the shores of Galway Bay. After our visit we continue to The Cliffs of Moher. Towering over the sea at 214m at their highest point and stretching for more than five miles along the western seaboard of County Clare, the Cliffs of Moher are the iconic image of the Irish coastline. From the Cliffs one can see the Aran Islands, Galway Bay, The Twelve Pins, the Maum Turk Mountains in Connemara and Loop Head way to the South. The Cliffs of Moher take their name from a ruined promontory fort “Mothar” which was demolished during the Napoleonic wars to make room for a signal tower. We continue to our Galway hotel for check in.
Day 14: GALWAY
Full day tour: Galway and Connemara
Galway Walking Tour
Kylemore Abbey
Meal Plan: Breakfast
Accommodation: Western Hotel or similar (3 star)
Today we depart on a full day tour of Galway and Conne-mara. We begin with a walking tour through Galway. In the center of town, on Shop Street, is Lynch's 'Castle', dating from 1490 CE and renovated in the 19th century. It's the oldest Irish medieval town house used daily for commercial purposes (it's now a branch of the Allied Irish Bank). The exterior is full of carved gargoyles, impressive coats of arms, and other decorative stonework. We walk northwest one block to Market Street to see the Lynch Memorial Window embedded in a wall above a Gothic doorway. It commemorates the 16th-century Mayor James Lynch FitzStephen, who condemned his son to death for the murder of a Spanish merchant. During the 170-year heyday of the tribes, Galway grew wealthy and cosmopolitan, with particularly strong trade links to Spain.
Close to the city docks, we can still see the area where Spanish merchants unloaded cargo from their galleons. The Spanish Arch was one of four arches built in 1594 CE, and the Spanish Parade is a small open square where visitors strolled in the evening. Local legend has it that Christopher Columbus attended mass at Galway's St. Nicholas Collegiate Church before setting sail for the New World in 1477 CE. Originally built in 1320 CE, the church has been enlarged, rebuilt, and embellished over the years. It has also changed denominations at least four times. We then depart for Connemara, one of the most beautiful regions of the country. Connemara has long been regarded as representing the true essence of Ireland. As with most of County Galway, Connemara's history goes back thousands of years. A local archaeolo-gist found a spearhead in Streamstown dating back 7,000 years. It was a rare and wonderful find as the people of that era were known to be nomadic hunter gatherers. Other sites found in the area suggest the change over from the nomadic lifestyle to that of farming communities. Connemara's coast is very convoluted with a wealth of lovely beaches, islands and harbors. The famous green/white Connemara marble was a trade item used by the inhabitants of the time and it continues to be of great val-ue today. We visit Kylemore Abbey, a neo-Gothic man-sion where Benedictine Nuns now house a convent school. We then return to Galway and our hotel. The re-mainder of the day is at leisure.
Day 15: TRALEE
Drive to Tralee via Cashel and Blarney Castle
Meal Plan: Breakfast
Accommodation: Balleyseede Castle Hotel or similar (4 star)
This morning we drive to Tralee (304k / 189mi – 4hrs) visiting Cashel and Blarney Castle en route. Like much of Ireland, Cashel has a rich history, including prehistoric raths, mediaeval monasteries, fortified town houses, and a Georgian Cathedral. In Cashel we visit the Rock of Cashel, the traditional seat of the Kings of Munster for several hundred years prior to the 1066 CE Norman Inva-sion. The majority of surviving buildings date from the 12
th
and 13th centuries. Cashel is reputed to be the site of the
conversion of the King of Munster by St. Patrick in the 5th
century CE and, according to local mythology, the Rock of Cashel itself originated in the Devil’s Bit, a mountain 20 miles to the north, transferred to its present location when
Photo retrieved from: www.borrisoleigh.ie Photo retrieved from: www.dunphypr.com Photo retrieved from: www.dailyholiday.yakohl.com
St. Patrick banished Satan from a cave, resulting in the Rock's landing in Cashel. We visit the ruins then contin-ue to Blarney Castle near Cork. Although fortified since 1210 CE, the current Blarney Castle was built just six hundred years ago by one of Ireland's greatest chieftains, Cormac MacCarthy, King of Munster, reputed to have sent to troops to help Robert the Bruce at the battle of Bannockburn in 1314 CE. The castle had a pivotal role during the Elizabethan age and during Oliver Cromwell’s suppression of the catholic rebellion during the English revolution of the 1640’s. There is time to kiss the Blarney Stone and gain ‘the gift of the gab’ - a term referring to the eloquence, lucidity and charm of the Irish. After our visit we continue to Tralee, arriving early evening.
Day 16: TRALEE
Full day tour: Ring of Kerry, Skellig Center, Muckrose House
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Supper
Accommodation: Balleyseede Castle Hotel or similar (4 star)
After an early breakfast we depart for a full day touring through Ireland’s most beautiful scenery. The unequaled Ring of Kerry - renowned as the most scenic drives in Ireland - and justly so, is our destination today. The views of Dingle Bay are softly spectacular in a way unique to the beautiful Emerald Isle. Behind the beauty lies a hard history - of famine, colonial suppression, resistance, and great pride. The Iveragh suffered terribly in the great po-tato famines of the 19th century, and many Americans can trace their roots to the great migrations of this period. We visit the Skellig Interpretative Center which details the offshore Skellig Islands and is located on the waterfront in Valentia. Through re-creations and models we study the works and lives of the Skellig monks of the early Christian period as they gained a tenuous foothold on this tiny, in-hospitable island and created a community that survived for some 600 years. We watch the16-minute audio-visual presentation that visually tells the story before we contin-ue to Muckrose House. Muckrose House is located at Muckross Lake, nestling in the beautiful Kil;arney national Park. Built by the Herbert family between 1839 and 1843 for Henry Herbert and his wife, the house was designed by William Burn. Today the house is furnished in period style and portrays the elegant lifestyle of the 19th century landowning class, and the servant’s quarters that made
such a life possible. We then return to our hotel for a fare-well dinner.
Day 17: Depart
Transfer to Shannon airport
Meal Plan: Breakfast
Today we transfer to Shannon airport in time for our de-parture flight.
