Travel Channel Academy

Okay, so the Travel Channel Academy isn't quite a travel destination, but I'm guessing there are a lot of people out there with questions about the class and whether or not it's worth the cost of going, both in time and money. I attended the 11th class offered back in February 2008, so I thought I'd share my thoughts on it.

County Offaly, Ireland

Central Ireland tends to be overlooked by tourists, which is a shame. Granted, it doesn't have the dramatic scenery of the coastal areas, or the sheer amount of things to do as Dublin does, but it still has a lot to offer if you're willing to step off the typical tourist trail. The villages are just as pretty, and the people are just as friendly, as you would find in the more frequented destinations.
