THE EMERALD WORDAPALOOZA
Is now up and running.  Now is the time to jump on board the wagon!!! WHERE? LETTERMORE, in COUNTY GALWAYThe venue is now definitely at Lettermore, in County Galway, in the west of Ireland. It is a spectacularly beautiful location, on a smallish island which is attached to the mainland by a bridge. As Rubrick says, “Lettermore looks idyllic on its island - - - Lettermore is near Rossaveal where you can take the ferry to Inis Mor, the largest of the Aran's where I was in December.” WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?Go to http://www.irelandwestholidayhomes.com/galway.asp and type in Scs0854901 for the Lettermore accommodation. Place the number in the text field located on the map. WHEN the WEEK 15th to 22nd JUNE inclusive We have booked four cottages, each sleeping six people, for the week 15th to 22nd June inclusive – they are modern places with one double bed and four singles each, bed linen is supplied but not towels. (but towel hire can be arranged if you let us know in advance.) Each cottage has a shower, but I don’t think they have a bath. They are easy walking distance from the beach (about a mile) 500 yards from a shop and about a mile from the nearest bar. HOW MUCH?The cost per person for the accomodation is a little less than €100 per person.That amount will allow a small amount of the domestic necessities. There will be some extras for food and for a breakage deposit. At a rough guess, I think it will come to round about € 160 each for the week, give or take a bit. At present, the €uro is roughly equal to the dollar.It will help us immensely if you can pay € 100 up front, please, and as soon as possible.Send cheques made out to the Euro amount to:

I would bet a personal check would do fine, wouldn't it, since it would have plenty of time to clear if you sent it, say, early February?
But I'll stand to be corrected.

Yes, they are nice, aren't they? And just a few miles away from where they filmed The Quiet Man.
Oh, that's €100 per person, btw. And made out to J. Richardson, if you please - not cash!!! There should be loads of time to clear it but the sooner I get it the better as bookings tend to mount up in early Feb.

Only a few miles from where they filmed The Quiet Man??? Oh, my heart is glad today.
Now somewhere someone mentioned an airline that is offering really great deals on roundtrip flights from the US to Europe.
Without naming that airline here, will someone please PM me at Wordwind here to let me know the name of that airline or business group that's making the offer?
Many thanks in advance,
WW

We are having to find money for deposits more or less immediately. We can probably underwrite this on a short term basis, but we really do need your cheques quite quickly, if at all possible, please.

I may get jumped on for commercializing, but there's always Paypal. I recently sent $500 to a friend in Australia for a painting, and she got it transferred to her bank account within half an hour after I pushed the send button.
If this is OK, I'd need only your email address. I want to reserve four beds, for me, Peggy, and the kids.
