September busy month?
 

My husband and I are thinking about doing a air/car and B&B in September. Is this busy season? We got a good price from a tour company called Kenny Tours. Has anyone ever heard of them? Good/Bad? I think the price we have gotten is good it will cost us $599pp for 6 nights leaving from Baltimore. Is this a good price? I tried putting together the same package and could'nt even get close to that price. That is why we are a nervous about using a company that we have never heard of before because the price seems so good. Before anyone says anything we dont mind using the voucher system because I am kind of a planner anyways so we will probably book most of our B&B's ahead of time.

Actually September is a very quiet month in Yugoslavia. I assume that is where you are talking about, since nowhere, not even in your title or your entire post, did you think to mention where the hell you are talking about! <BR><BR>Please don't use the excuse that you posted this under a particular country, since as you know if you have ever even browsed this site, the questions are not grouped by country.

are you talking about Ireland?<BR><BR>just a guess.<BR><BR>sounds like a decent fare - is that on Aer Lingus?

Yes, she posted it under Ireland.<BR><BR>You have to say that somwhere, jen. The vast majority of us browse the "whole board" and can't tell for a second if you posted under a specific country.<BR><BR>I could tell simply be searching on "Ireland", mostly because Beth suggested it.<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>

Rex, <BR><BR>how did you do that? I thought the search function was not indexed recently?<BR><BR>I just took a guess cuz Aer Lingus goes out of Ballmer and the tour co. sounds Irish - plus the B&B voucher thing is big with traveling to Ireland it seems. <BR><BR>Jen - my guess is September won't be too busy and will get rainier/cooler as the month goes on. 599 incl airfare is indeed quite cheap - my May/June trip cost nearly 700 JUST for airfare. so jump on it..<BR><BR>:-)

ah ha! you are so right. it worked.<BR><BR>hey, here is a Q for ya - how many of you actually put it under the correct country heading, versus just the general heading?<BR><BR>I admit I never choose a country..<BR><BR>

Yes, beth, as you see the country "listings" are always up to date.<BR><BR>I don't start a new post all that often, and when I do it frequently falls under more than one country - - like my post tonight about the NYTimes and Gorges du Verdon, Ravenna, Dublin and Iceland. I realize that I can and should use the control key and list it under those individual countries repsectively - - but I plead guilty to being too lazy.<BR><BR>But when I do post for something new that applies to just one country - - I do choose that country.<BR>

It's a shame that, even though Beth made a mistake and didn't state which country she was interested in that people like the "faceless coward" XXX had to use the kind of language he did to point out her mistake. Interpersonal communication skills are apparently quite difficult to find.<BR><BR>Bill<BR>

"what the hell" is considered offensive language? Where were you raised? In a convent?

beth didn't make the mistake, Jen did - I was just trying to be helpful, honest!<BR><BR>but thanks for sticking up for someone!<BR><BR>:-)

OOPS SORRY. Yes this is Ireland.

B&B vouchers are a can of worms. Find out everything about them before buying. Be warned.

beth do you alwayws refer to yourself in the third person??

Jen,<BR>I think it would help if we knew from your title what city or country you were inquiring about.??

xx - all the time, just like Napoleon or that guy on Seinfeld!<BR><BR>do you always call yourself xx? doesn't that cause confusion around tax time?<BR><BR>:-)~<BR>

Before you send any money, check them out with the Irish Tourist Board.

jen- where did you hear about them and find out about the 599 per person tour? I did a query under their name and could only find a phone number with no other information about them. Did you call them or see an ad somewhere and do they have a website that you are aware of? If it is legit then I would say it is a really good deal because I have looked at flying over in September and just the airfare was more than that. What airline are they using and what airport would you fly into? Thanks in advance for the info.

There web site is Kenny-tours.com and they have some infomation on there site. I saw there ad in the local newspaper. There phone number is 800-648-1492. Does anyone know the current exchange rate with Euros?

A little under 88 cents, today. See www.xe.net to track it.<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>

Hi Jen...<BR> Just to let you know, I'm sure Kenny tours is "legit".. We are going on our honeymoon to Ireland in September as well (we leave the 16th). We are going for two weeks, and booked the same package...Round trip air ( from Boston to Shannon, then out of Dublin, on Aer Lingus), automatic rental car, with the insurance on the car, 6 nites Town & Country B&B's for $684 pp...We are however; doing the second week on our own..But that price does include the rt air..<BR>As far as booking your B&B's in advance, that won't be necessary, as there as tons of them to choose from who accept the vouchers, so you may want to book your first night, & then pick one where ever you decide to stay every night.You'd be surprised how much you can pack into a day of sightseeing.<BR>Have a great trip.<BR>Carol

Touch&eacute;, Beth! But everyone wants to see his/her home videos.

Is Kenny Tours an American company? If so it's probably fine, I live in Dublin (Ireland) and couldn't find any list for them in the phone book or Yellow pages which makes may think theere musn't be based here. In case you haven't got it the officical Irish Tourist Bord Website is:<BR>www.ireland.travel.ie<BR>It may be of some use. Hope you have a good trip.

Boy, do I hate Aer Lingus. I had forgotten my hatred over the past few years, and flew with them again in January. Because of their incompetence, we got stuck in London overnight. It wasn't due to weather or mechanical failure, just pure stupidity.<BR><BR>And a friend's parents just flew Aer Lingus from Ireland to the U.S. They were so mad about what had happened on their trip that they could even TALK about it the other night! Can't wait to find out the details.<BR><BR>Meanwhile, I'm flying Continental to Ireland in April. Hopefully that will be a little less eventful.

Kenny Tours is located in Maryland but the owner is originally from Ireland. I called her to request a brochure and she is very nice and helpful. They use Aer Lingus as does Sceptre Tours who offers a similar package. I am really thinking about purchasing an air-car-b&b package from one of these companies but I would really love to hear positive/negative feed back from anyone who has gone before. Thanks in advance for all replys.
