Thank you NoLaGent. No 380 on the return, but I'll save the embarrassing details for that installment.

Thanks so much andymcdonnell. There is just so much natural beauty in Ireland. Beautiful.

It was part of the entire package and was arranged thru our Virtuoso TA.

And please keep being as candid and honest as possible - frankly its what makes your TR's so awesome.

Thank you Garvey6 for your kind comments. They are much appreciated.

Thanks so much dr4881. Great service in the air is indeed alive and well, just a little harder to find than years ago.
