This is a review of Aer Lingus Business Class aboard their newly acquired B757-200 operated by Air Contractors from Shannon to Boston. This is a great value business class, and is wonderful for flying across the Atlantic using a small amount of British Airways Avios.
United announced that they are moving to a revenue based earning structure for its MileagePlus program in 2015, and it’s not all bad — unless you’re the one paying for the ticket! I analyzed the new program’s earning structure and compared the earning rates in 2014 and 2015.
We drove the west coast of County Clare to the Cliffs of Moher. We then went to Doolin for a cruise of the Cliffs of Moher, followed by a night at Bunratty Meadows Bed & Breakfast in Bunratty, near Shannon.
We drove across Ireland from Dublin to Connemara for a flight on Aer Arann Islands to Inishmore in the Aran Islands. Afterwards, we spent the evening at the Radisson Blu in Galway.

This 12-night Mediterranean Empires cruise aboard Holland America Line’s Nieuw Amsterdam was probably my best cruise, as it featured a beautiful ship with excellent food and service, along with a fantastic itinerary
We spent two nights in Dublin, Ireland at The Morrison Hotel. Highlights of our time there included the Guinness Storehouse, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Grafton Street, and the pubs of Dublin!
My first flight on Ryanair from Venice-Treviso to Dublin was marred by quite the ordeal checking in. Otherwise, Ryanair offers extremely low fares and a completely reasonable onboard product for a fantastic price.
The highlight of our cruise on Holland America Line’s Nieuw Amsterdam was the day we spend in Santorini. This amazing island was probably the most picturesque place I’ve ever been. We then sailed to Argostoli, Cephalonia in the Ionian islands.
We spent two days in Istanbul, followed by Mitilini, Greece on the Island of Lesbos. The Nieuw Amsterdam then made her way to Kusadasi, Turkey where we explored the ancient city of Ephesus.
