hi we have just been retired a few months and now would like to possibly go and look at the uk especially ireland.. havent checked out the travel shops as yet.. but am looking at maybe march to june next yr.. we are feeling quiet well and reasonably relaxed now so want to do it before our health maybe starts to fail us.. so any ideas.. on travel.. i think i would prefer a tour bus scenario..as i do not drive.. and think that hubby would also like to take in the scenary as well as myself. without having to concentrate on driving especially in another country.. has any one in cafe world experience organised tours.. are they rushed from daylight to sunset.. or time to take it all in.. would like some info before the travel people tell us all the sales blurb. happy to hear from all your aussie travellers.. as we have never been out of oz..

I Came to Australia 1974 and took My Australian Wife and 4 Children To Ireland in 1996 .We Booked Our own Fares and made Reservations over the Internet for Hotels, Flights From England and Accommodation all over the Internet ,as it is alot cheaper also it is cheaper to Book Tours before You go instead of using a Company like Fight Center etc as they load up the Cost. I have Been to America ,Europe and the Islands Many Times and saved Heaps which let Me go elsewhere. Believe Me it is not Hard to Organize Pay and Plan, also Book well ahead as You get better Deals with Airlines and Hotels .On My last Trip to New York I Paid less for the Waldorf Astoria than I would have Paid for a Much cheaper Hotel in New York Only because I Planned well ahead and got a GREAT SPECIAL From Bookit.Com and Hotels.com always compare Different Hotel Booking Engines
