Check out the replay from our recent Q&A webinar about our June 2022 trip to explore Ireland, the Emerald Isle:

We'll begin with 4 nights in Dublin, before crossing the country by train to the west coast to Galway, where we'll spend 3 nights, visiting the wild Connemara and spectacular Cliffs of Moher while there.

Gordon goes over the program structure and highlights for our rescheduled island-hopping adventure through the sun-drenched Greek archipelago, including Crete, Naxos, Paros, and Santorini:

Our trip begins with 3 nights in Chania on the Island of Crete, before hopping to Heraklion for a night, followed by 3 nights on spectacular Santorini and 4 nights on Naxos Island, with some time in Paros as well.

I'm sure most travellers in Canada by now have heard about the government decision to bail out Air Canada, as the airline industry worldwide is reeling from the ongoing pandemic.
