Travel Talk Tuesday: December 19, 2023 – The Final Episode & Christmas Celebration

TRAVEL TALK TUESDAY, THE END OF AN ERA—

I began Travel Talk Tuesday on December 1, 2020. At the time, we were in the heart of the pandemic with nowhere to go. I had spent the better part of 2020 in a mild depression and without a plan for Exploring Europe. As the year’s end approached, I decided to pull out of it and get to work with EE again. Hence, Travel Talk Tuesday with David McGuffin was born.

With the help of my friend and colleague, Leslie Larson, we’ve produced 100+ live episodes and catalogued them online and on YouTube.  Our archives contain content about European destinations we visit on our tours.  Moving forward, I’ll produce five or six Travel Talk Tuesday broadcasts a year to keep everyone up-to-date on my travels, tours, and special promotions. Stay tuned for details coming in January 2024.

We were super busy with our tours in 2022 and 2023.  2024 is looking to be a busy year, too. I’ve run out of time to oversee EE, lead tours, and produce a weekly TTT. So, sadly, I must let it go for now. Thanks for tuning in and please help us end with a bang on December 19th!

All the best and Merry Christmas,

     David, Charlotte, and Leslie

Travel Talk Tuesday: November 14, 2023 – Derry or Londonderry? County Donegal and the North Ireland Coast

Travel Talk Tuesday: November 14, 2023 – Derry or Londonderry? County Donegal and the North Ireland Coast

PART 1: Derry, also known as Londonderry, is a small city straddling the border of The Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Strategically placed on the banks of the River Foyle, Londonderry has seen its fair share of battles, conflicts, and controversies. The city’s most iconic feature is its intact 17th-century city walls, which offer a glimpse into its turbulent past. Steeped in history, Derry played a significant role in the Troubles, a period of conflict in Northern Ireland, but has since emerged as a symbol of peace and reconciliation. David recently walked the walls with a local guide, and he shares the experience in this episode.

PART 2: County Donegal stretched north from Derry to Malin Head, the northernmost point on the island.  Donegal is loaded with ancient historic sites, and beautiful countryside. It provides an off-the-beaten-path look at Ireland.

PART 3: Northern Ireland’s Country Antrim, premier attraction is the Giant’s Causeway.  A series of hexagonal basalt pillars jut out of the land and sea, forming an underwater “bridge” all the way to Scotland.  Additionally, nearby Dunluce Castle, Carrick-a-rede rope bridge, and the Great Hedges can fill a great day out on the north coast.
