6 Things to include in your bucket list while visiting Ireland

Ireland is a beautiful island, separated from the Great Britain by North Channel, The Irish Sea and St. George’s Channel. It is a place with lush vegetation and changeable climate. If you are planning to pay a visit to your travel agent or travel agency to ask them about the best package to Ireland, make sure below mentioned is all included in it:

1. Drink a pint of beer in Kehoe’s barThe Guinness store is well-known for its beer in Dublin. It is Dublin’s one of the most visited attraction. The difference between a normal pint of beer and Kehoe's pint of beer is that latter makes you feel very high.

2. Cycling all the way through Great Western Greenway
   Great Western Greenway has situated in County Mayo. Why do we recommend taking cycle, is that while cycling, you could move at your pace. You could encounter old railway line from Westport to Achill Island, over bridges and under bridges, meet wandering sheep and enjoy the colors of the Nephin Mountains along the way. Take your time to inhale the beauty of Ireland.

3. Grafton Streets during ChristmasIf you are planning to visit Ireland, you do not want to miss out, Grafton Street on Christmas. In the evening, the shop fronts glitter with baubles and wreaths; even the saddest and gloomiest folk can't help but be filled with festive spirit.

4. Forget the stress with seaweed bath in Sligo
   Enjoy the seaweed bath in Sligo. It is highly recommended for people who have high-stress levels. It will make your skin smooth and glowing. Ditch any kind of shampoo and take a head down bath for perfectly beach hairs.
   
   
5. Up for some adventure - Night kayaking on Lough Hyne
   Ireland has some drop dead waters to go Kayaking. One of the best waters for moonlight kayaking is on Lough Hyne. As you move through the water, the sparkle of bioluminescence will leave the trail of glitter in its wake. It is said to be at night because you can enjoy star gazing and dimly lit moon.

7 Tips to Have a Fun Family Vacation

Family vacations are always fun thing if you bend some rules and enjoy it in your own way. While travelling people establish some ground rules like carrying light luggage, carrying medicines, sleep when you wish, cut off the technology. It is not necessary to follow each and every rule. Before contacting the travel agency or your personalized travel agent, make sure what kind of vacation would you like to have.

Will it be Cruise vacation or making a family travel out of business travel? The Travel Authority is the largest American Express Travel Representative. It organizes all kinds of travels from romantic travel to cruise and land vacation to escorted tours to all-inclusive vacations. You choose your vacation and follow the below-mentioned tips to enjoy it to the core:

1. Enjoy ME time: While going on vacation with family, you must be deciding to do adventure sports and wearing clothes that you cannot wear at home or do something that is different. But do not forget to enjoy ME time. Once in a day make time for what you like. One can only have fun if he does things that are actually fun for him/her. Read a book or go walking barefoot, etc.
2. Schedule it properly: Nothing is more annoying than not scheduling everything on time. It is annoying to miss a flight or leaving an important document behind. It is even more annoying when a car breaks down. So, before going out on a trip, make a proper schedule.
3. Capture happy memories: It is necessary to capture important memories. It seems like a tiresome task to carry camera everywhere you go but once you prepare a scrapbook, it is worth it. Also, take photographs of souvenir so in case it breaks, you could have a picture as a memory.
4. Take time to exercise: Trips are not the option to get away from exercise. In fact, while on trips, you get more time. So, increase your time of exercise. Exercise is energizing and cheering, and it promotes sleep and relaxation. Exercise does help with jet leg.
5. One irksome task: While you are at home, you cannot finish a particular task that takes annoying lot of time to finish. As you get some time on vacation, you could complete that irksome task and enjoy the freedom after coming home. Also, it may not seem that annoying to do while you are between mountains and greenery or by the shore of an ocean.
6. Make peace with technology: People often cut out on technology. If you wish you can do that but you need not necessarily do that. You could use it while going out to keep in touch with neighbors or relatives. You could miss someone’s funeral or someone’s wedding while on vacation.
7. Over pack your stuff: It is okay to over pack your stuff. Do not miss out on anything important like socks, medicines, gloves or boots. Also, make sure to carry food that could be cooked easily if in case you miss out on dinner while being on some lonely island or abandoned road.

Just make your own rules on your family trips and make it the most memorable trip.

5 interesting places to stay other than hotel rooms while traveling

One of the most expensive parts of traveling is booking a room of hotel. The hotel rooms are very exorbitant and eat half of our budget. Thus, The Travel Authority brings you 5 interesting ways not to spend days and nights in hotel rooms while traveling. The travel Authority is a travel agency that provides online travel services for Cruise Vacations, Family Travel, Business Travel, Romantic Travel, Customized Escorted Tours as well as All-Inclusive Vacations.

Below mentioned are the 5 ways to ditch expensive hotel rooms:

1. Go camping: Camping under the stars in the suburbs of the city is an experience in itself. This cannot be done however if there is too much cold. Still, camping is quite a cheaper way if you do not want to spend all of your savings on a hotel room.
   
   
2. Rent a lodge room: Ditch the expensive hotel rooms and find out cheaper lodges. They do not have ultra quality services but the basics are enough. You are however not going to stay the whole day; just sleep, bath and get freshened up.
   
   
3. Try university rooms: While students go out on vacations, many universities open the dorm rooms for travelers. You have to manage bathroom down the hall but it is cheaper and comfortable that sleeping on roads. 
   
   
4. Crash into locality’s guest room: Most of the times localities provide this service for free or at the minimal negligible price. This way you will get to meet locality and meet acquaintances with them and learn about that place’s history.
   
   
5. The Travel Authority: Last but not the least; you could contact The Travel Authority. We are one of the best vacation planners for all kinds of vacations from cruise to escorted tours. We would love to hear it from you. Contact us at The Travel Authority-contact us.
