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 />
