Real ID Act could impact your travels in 2018
If you are an airline traveler, you'll want to pay attention to new rules in effect beginning January 22, 2018, as a result of the Real ID Act.
In many states, your drivers license will no longer be acceptable as a form of identification at the airport. Different states are rolling out the rules on different timelines, so be sure to check on the state you are departing from and landing in before you go. It may be time to get your passport out, check the expiration date and have it ready for your next trip. Here are a few articles and websites with more information:

Irish eyes were smiling!
The Ireland trip provided breathtaking views of this beautiful island. Highlights were visiting the Waterford Crystal company and watching them make the world renowned crystal, the Blarney Castle, Guinness Brewery, the Ring of Kerry, Cliffs of Moher and Giant's Causeway in Belfast. We also enjoyed a medieval dinner in a castle near Limerick and we stayed in the Cabra castle the last night. The 13-day trip flew by and many good memories will be shared for years to come.
