Fly/drive Ireland (in winter) for only $499 is again available to each of two persons traveling together, for bookings until September 28
In a phone call I placed to Dooley's bitter competitor, Sceptre Tours, later this afternoon, I was advised that Sceptre's website tomorrow (Thursday) will announce that they are matching Dooley's rates and conditions. And I am willing to bet that Brian Moore International (the other big operator to Ireland) will do the same.
The program is called "Ireland Coast to Coast", and is available at the $499 price not simply from New York, but from Boston, Washington, D.C. (Dulles), and Chicago, as well. It will cost $549 from Orlando and $659 from Los Angeles/San Francisco. The period of for actually visiting Ireland will be December through February, but bookings must be made by September 28 at the latest.
You'll receive round-trip air to Dublin or Shannon, a week's use of a standard shift car with unlimited mileage, and six nights of hotel accommodations (in three Irish cities) with breakfast daily. Go to www.dooleyvacations.com for further details.
But bear in mind, again, that you must book by September 28. And you really should consider doing so. To enjoy a weeklong winter vacation in Ireland for only $499 is the kind of travel bargain that, nowadays, occurs all too infrequently (and should be seized when the opportunity arises).
