BOSTON, May 31, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- When Business TalkRadio Network's travel expert host of "Travel WITH Stephanie Abrams!" heard of plans for transatlantic routes between New York's JFK and Boston's Logan Airport to Ireland West Airport Knock (IWAK), located midway between Galway and Donegal, she rejoiced at the ease of reaching the West and North West of Ireland. Talks ensued between Abrams and the destinations immediately served by the airport and FlyGlobespan, the award-winning low-cost Scottish carrier whose first flights from New York and Boston arrived at IWAK on May 28th and May 30th. Abrams, a strong supporter of tourism to Ireland and recognized, along with Ken Livingston, Mayor of London, England, as the 2007 Honorary Friend of Saint Patrick by the Saint Patrick Centre in Downpatrick, County Down, arranged to be at IWAK to welcome the first transatlantic passengers.
"It is so exciting to see Ireland West Airport Knock welcoming U.S. passengers! This makes the West and North West of Ireland immediately accessible to the traveler," Abrams states. "This modern airport allows passengers to breeze through without crowds, traffic, lines or delays. If you think of airports as difficult places, Ireland West Airport Knock breaks that mold!"
Travel WITH Stephanie Abrams, heard coast-to-coast on Sundays in the 7pm to 9pm ET time slot, will broadcast live from IWAK on June 3rd. "I'll also appear with Dave Isby, the Barefoot Beachcomber, on Traveling Feet, a nationally syndicated radio travel show on which I appear as the travel expert, on Saturday, June 2nd airing from 11am to 1pm ET. Dave will be anchoring on June 2nd from Pittsfield, MA, where Traveling Feet broadcasts from Studio 35 at the Crowne Plaza Berkshires Hotel, across from the hotel's Underground Pub."
When asked what the immediate region offers travelers, Abrams responds, "Everything you could possible want from a trip! The West and the North West of Ireland deliver the perfect incubator for growing memories that last a lifetime, experiences that touch your spirit and your senses, opportunities to touch history, breath culture, immerse yourself in glorious landscapes and seascapes, indulge in active sports like golfing, surfing, fishing, hiking or sit atop a cliff with the poems of Yeats right in Yeats Country! You'll reflect on glorious days filled with rainbows framing castles, remember singing and dancing uplifting your spirits, and have the opportunity to visit places unique to this region including Knock Shrine, Galway, Donegal Castle, Yeats burial place, and the rugged coastlines of Donegal Bay and Connemara where the kiss of the salt air mingle with the romance of the region for an experience guaranteed to enrich your life," Abrams states noting that the Photo Gallery at her award-winning site, www.sabrams.com, provides a preview, "guaranteed to entice the traveler!"
