MID-YEAR MEETING <strong>2011</strong><br />

Half-Day Tours<br />

Panoramic City Tour<br />

Sunday, November 6<br />

10 a.m.–1 p.m. or<br />

2–5 p.m.<br />

$85 per person<br />

<strong>The</strong> 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. tour is the perfect<br />

way to start your visit if you arrive in <strong>Dublin</strong><br />

on a late-night flight, and have some time<br />

to get the lay of the land before check-in at<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Shelbourne</strong>.<br />

Embark on an orientation tour of <strong>Dublin</strong> and<br />

get to know its customs, traditions and<br />

1,000 year old history.<br />

<strong>Dublin</strong> is famous for the distinctive<br />

architecture of its Georgian Squares, which<br />

were laid out during the 1700s. As you ride<br />

through the squares, you will notice the<br />

uniformity of the houses. One way to<br />

distinguish your home was to paint the door a<br />

different color from your neighbor’s and add<br />

distinctive knockers and elegant fanlights<br />

above the door. This began the tradition of<br />

<strong>Dublin</strong>’s ornate and colorful doorways.<br />

From the hotel, you will travel just two miles (three kilometers) west<br />

to <strong>Dublin</strong>’s playground, the 1742-acre Phoenix Park, the largest<br />

urban enclosed park in Europe. Ornamental gardens, nature trails,<br />

polo fields and the <strong>Dublin</strong> Zoo call this park home. And, the<br />

President of Ireland and the American Ambassador have their<br />

homes here. You will also have an opportunity to walk to the cross<br />

where Pope John Paul II said mass in 1979.<br />

Returning to the city center, your guide will make the buildings,<br />

statues and other landmarks come alive. Among the city’s many<br />

interesting sights is Trinity College, founded in 1592 by Queen<br />

Elizabeth I. It is here that the famous Book of Kells is kept. (An<br />

opportunity to visit Trinity College is offered in the Walking <strong>Dublin</strong><br />

Tour on Monday.)<br />

Standing on high ground in the oldest part of <strong>Dublin</strong> is one of the<br />

city's finest historic buildings, St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Highlights of<br />

the interior include magnificent stonework and graceful pointed<br />

arches with delicately chiseled supporting columns, as well as<br />

beautiful stained glass.<br />

<strong>The</strong> tour includes:<br />

• Round trip transportation via deluxe vehicles<br />

• Tour guide<br />

• Visit inside St. Patrick’s Cathedral<br />
