Can’t believe we leave on
Saturday for London and we’ll see all of you lovely people the following
Saturday in Shannon, Ireland.
A few last things to pass
along - There are tipping guidelines in the Ireland
and Britain Go-To Guide that came with our backpacks if you want to take a
look.
Driver Tip – CIE Tours
suggested gratuity for our driver is 8 Euros per person per day (7 days). That
is 56 Euro ($66.00 US) total per person for our trip. The good news is that the
tour price we charged you included gratuity for the driver. So, you are covered.
At the end of the trip, Mic will provide the driver with the gratuity for the
entire group. We are all about making this trip easy and fun! Oh, and EPIC,
too!
Hotels – We requested that
all rooms have two twin beds. Our reasoning was that two twin beds actually
give you two more inches in width than a King bed. The CIE tours website says
“rooms are Twin (2 separate single beds) or Double (usually a queen size but
subject to each hotel’s discretion and availability).” We are in very nice
hotels and I anticipate excellent accommodations. I just wanted to give you a
heads-up on that.
Arrivals – We have two
couples arriving a little later. Kate & Andrew at 11:20am and Brian &
Nicole at 10:10am. All others are scheduled to arrive around 9am. Our driver will
be at the airport at 9:15am. Bob and I will already be in Shannon so look for
us in Airport Arrivals after you go through Immigration and Customs. Those
staying at airport hotels, please meet us at Airport Arrivals at 9:15am. The
plan is to load up and go out to breakfast. For the two couples arriving a
little later, we have requested a Breakfast Box and coffee to go. After
breakfast, we will swing back by the airport to get our last two couples. I
promise we won’t leave you behind! If flights get delayed, we will adjust as
needed.
I think that is all for now.
If you haven’t already, please download WhatsApp on your cell phones. If you
already have it and I haven’t added you to the group, double check to make sure
you are signed in.
Cheerio!
Caren & Mic
