Ireland Family Vacation Podcast Introduction

Jody greets listeners and explains her format for doing the podcasts. Jody prefers to have chats and live interaction with not only her guest speakers, but her listeners as well. That is why her podcasts are recorded LIVE on Blab.

• About Jody: My love of Ireland began in 2002. I traveled through Ireland alone and found beautiful places and friendly people. In 2005, I came back to Ireland for the first time with my family. I was thrilled to find that Ireland had so many wonderful family-friendly attractions.

How IFV website began:

• On my other website, Family Ramblings, I noticed that the blog posts about Ireland were getting the most traction. In order to cater to the interests of my audience, I created the Ireland Family Vacations website.

• Interactive map: click on to learn about each county
• Vacation planning series: to help people plan their vacation
• Lists of Ireland travel facts
• FAQs about Ireland travel
• My travel blog: where I share the stories of the things we see and do and the people we meet
• Vacation Coaching Service: Paid service
• Advertise Your Irish Business
• Website link: https://irelandfamilyvacations.com/

• This service came from the fact that people were contacting me for advice on where to go with children and the requests to help plan people's Ireland vacations.
  • Vacation Coaching Service is a paid service
  • With this service you receive custom planned itenerary for each person/family
  • I will work with you as long as you need it.

• At Ireland Family Vacation you will find an entire section devoted to Ireland travel planning. However, the best advice I can give you is this:
  • Ireland is small, but you cant see everything in a few days.
  • Tip: I recommend taking your time so you don;t feel rushed.
  • Tip: Focus on the things that are MUST sees and create an itenerary based on a few attraction near where those must sees are. decide what you want to see and plan your trip around one or two main sites.

• There were no questions
