I was shocked as the view changed from the rugged coast line of Ireland to the geological wonder of Giant’s Causeway before my very eyes. I had driven to Northern Ireland as part of a whirlwind road trip around the Isle of Ireland. I truly felt like I had stepped into the land of Giants.

A Review of my Travels and Adventures in 2016
2016 was a great year for me and travel. I have declared 2016 the Year of the Pyramids. I saw the temple pyramids of Mexico as well as the Great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt. I managed to visit 5 US states I had never been to as well as crossed 3 national parks off my list. My job allows me to travel so I spent much of my month on the road. It varies but on average I am on the road 3 nights a week. When I started looking how many Jettly flights I took this year, I couldn’t believe it. I started and ended my year of international travel in Canada and my travel year in New York. Here is my favorite 16 adventures from 2016 travel.
Exploring the Isle of Ireland with Budget Car Rental Ireland
Four days, 1,400 km (847 miles), and 8 stops. I step off the plane in Dublin, Ireland. I have a very short time frame and a whole adventure ahead of me. The Republic of Ireland and Nothern Ireland are my last stop on a month long trip that has taken me through Egypt and Eastern Europe. I both excited and nervous about this road trip. I have never driven on the right side of the road. This fact has just gotten real as I walk out of customs and head over to baggage claim. I grab my bag and head over to the rental car counters. It doesn’t take but a glance to find my trip sponsor’s counter. There is one other person at the Budget Car Rental Ireland counter. It doesn’t take the attendant but a couple of minutes to check them out and give them directions on How to get in to Dublin from the airport. Within five mins of getting my bag, I have my car and am off to find my rental car.
