A Path Well Travelled
After 48 years in the travel industry, Brexit and Covid killed my business but I wanted to remember the travel industry so I wrote it all down in my book "A Path Well Travelled" which is available on Amazon in paperback and kindle. The section on Ireland has a couple of pages of my memories of the Clan Gatherings from 2002 to 2014. I hope that some of you would like to read it. It was published in May 2021 and it has great reviews on Amazon
