Ireland is often referred to as the “Emerald Island” because of the distinct beauty the land possesses, including lush green landscapes, rolling hills and awe-inspiring cliff-top views.

Now, seize your opportunity to experience the splendor of the Emerald Island with Cary Magazine’s first group travel adventure, Experience Ireland.

Experience Ireland is scheduled for July 7-15, 2014 as Cary Magazine partners with travel specialist Paula Anderson of Southern Cruise & Travel to provide a preplanned, customized experience for everyone to enjoy.

“Your guide will be knowledgeable and fun, and there’s always free time for you to explore on your own. This is a stress-free way to travel,” said Anderson.

A detailed itinerary offers much of the country for travelers to take in. The experience includes stops in Dublin and Galway to tour the Guinness Storehouse, Ireland’s No. 1 tourist attraction, the stone Cathedral of Our Lady, and sightseeing the misty mountains of Connemara.

“Ireland is a great place to visit,” said Anderson “a unique country with so much heritage and culture.”

With top-of-the-line hotels and full breakfast and dinner accommodations, Experience Ireland offers a riveting chance for friends and family to explore another part of the world.

An informational meeting for the trip will be held on Thursday, Nov. 7 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm, at Trali Irish Pub, 3107 Grace Park Drive, Morrisville. The presentation will begin at 6, followed by a Q&A session.
