Our Personal Journey
To & From: Sicily is the largest Mediterranean Island situated just off the toe of southern Italy. Famous for the Mafia and Mount Etna, it has three distinct coastlines, with the Mediterranean Sea to the south, the Tyrrhenian Sea to the north, and the Ionian Sea to the east. We chose a trip to Catania,…
To & From: SAS fly direct to Stockholm’s main International airport Arlanda ( ARN), the budget airlines use Skavsta Airport which is over 100km south, so if as we did visit for a long weekend, no point spending it travelling, Sweden is the fourth largest country in Europe, southerly on a similar latitude to Edinburgh…
To & From: Like so much of the USA, Philadelphia is easily accessed from Ireland, with direct services from Dublin with pre-clearance. It is the largest city in Pennsylvania, and oddly the sixth most populous in the States, rich in history, with the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall where the Declaration of Independence and Constitution…
To & From: The UAE is well served from Dublin, and the Capital of the Emirates is no exception, Etihad airlines have you in Abu Dhabi International Airport ( AUH ), in a little under 7 hours and with only a 3 hour time zone, you will lose little time and be straight out into…

TO & FROM: Being just over two hour flight from Dublin , Luxembourg is a lovely short hop for a weekend break. You have choice of two airlines both Luxair & Ryanair fly direct from Dublin and to maximise time we flew out with one & returned on the other airline both fly into Luxembourg’s…
To & From: The UAE is well served by direct flights from Dublin, Dubai by Emirates. Its a 7 hour flight and UAE is + 3 hours GMT. So not too far for an almost guaranteed sunshine holiday Dubai is a great option and one we have visited for just 5 days as well as…
To & From: From Dublin there are no direct flights to Tokyo, we chose Virgin from Gatwick. Its a long flight, just shy of 12 hours out and a little over on the return. Japan is + 8 hours GMT, so you will arrive next day roughly 24 hours ahead of departure. To make life…
