This tour is suitable for members and friends of FUMC who are fit to negotiate steps on and off carriers and to walk both on uneven surfaces and for reasonable distances. Included in the per person rate of Single - $3,549; Double - $3,149; Triple - $3,119 is transportation from FUMC to McGhee Tyson Airport, round trip airfare to Dublin, arrival and departure transfers to hotels, air taxes and fees plus the tour by motor coach of Southern Ireland. An additional charge of $220. per person is a waiver insurance that covers lost, damaged, or delayed baggage as well as medical expenses, emergency medical attention and worldwide travel assistance. Should one need to cancel prior to leaving, a percentage of the total cost will be refunded, so anyone going should seriously consider this insurance. Places visited are Dublin, Kilkenny, Waterford Crystal Factory, the Blarney Castle, Lakes of Killarney, the Ring of Kerry, one of the most beautiful coastal roads anywhere and the 700 foot Cliffs of Moher, then Limerick, Galway and Kings Court.
