Our Personal Journey
Trip to Krakow Back in November, my partner and I were invited by my father and step-mother to travel to Poland, with an aim of going to Auschwitz. It was to be a short weekend break, flying out the Friday and landing back the Sunday evening. The trip out was a bit of a rush….
Possibly an unlikely New Year venue, but we do live in surreal times in AD 2021, the fact or fantasy of Covid has made travel exceptionally demanding and leaving the cocooned Island of Ireland is not for the faint hearted or even seasoned traveler currently.

Either way an additional…
To & From Istanbul: Turkish Airlines run a number of direct flights from Dublin to the new airport ( IST ), September is a great month as fares soften back.
