All aboard the Orient Express — in Galway!

After battling through the floods with family in tow, Glenlo Abbey was a sight for sore eyes for Esther N McCarthy. 

My past visits to Galway have largely revolved around the nightlife — that’s a city that knows how to throw a party. Hen weekends, the Oyster and Arts festivals and the racing, of course.

But there is much more going on in that ancient city on the Corrib, so I was excited to find out what a family weekend would offer, besides blessed sobriety, obviously.
