We persuaded Carol to take us to Ireland to see our favorite singer, Paul Byrom, such a delightful person, on two tours with Travel Concepts.  This book includes some of our favorite experiences from both tours, I and IV.  Our highlight was watching a prize-winning sheepdog working the sheep at his master’s commands.  We got to experience riding very unusual horses and protecting a castle.  Paul shook hands with us and held us several times.  We saw northern Ireland, toured the Belleck and Waterford factories among others, traveled the Wild Atlantic Way, where we really needed Carol to protect us from the wind.  How many sloths get to visit Ireland? – Mischief and McGuffey

We were so excited about traveling through Ireland with our favorite singer. What fun! Ireland has such fascinating places to explore: making Belleek, Waterford glass, & wool; dogs herding sheep; the Cliffs of Moher, and more.
We visited historic sites, such as bridges & castles; castle hotels; thatched cottages; the National Stud with its famous horses; flowers everywhere; so much to see & do.

We hope you will enjoy our adventures as much as we did, in green Ireland.

Walking across the Peace Bridge and seeing the statue of two reaching out their hands in hopes of real peace between the two Irelands was very emotional.  Watching the careful work done in the Waterford Crystal factories made me appreciate the delicacy of the processes.

I even shared my own highlights, the sheepdog herding sheep, holding a barn owl on my wrist, walking through the pastures of famous horses, and watching the dog relaxing on the back of a donkey.  Only in Ireland!  I even managed to hold the barn owl so steady that it did not flutter to keep its balance.  Nature in Ireland outdoes itself along the Wild Atlantic Way. – Carol Creager
