We are planning a trip to various locations to visit, share ideas, learn, educate and just have fun.

UPDATE

Tentative date: 2nd Half of 2026

Official date will depend on airfare pricing (approx. <$800 roundtrip)

mid October

Iceland Air offers flights for $785.00 a direct flight, 1-2 day stop overs and connection to Glasgow

(good price if visiting Bernd Ogrodnick or not)

(we have communicated with him and he is very interested, but unsure he’s available)

If we don’t visit Bernd, then a new destination needs to be investigated and new route changes implemented.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aer Lingus offers flights to Dublin for $637.29, but we need to find transportation to our next destination (i.e.Glasgow)

for an additional fee of approx. $100 each way.

Dublin offers up Puca Puppets and Moon & Sixpence Puppet Theater (see list below)

We are gaining some ground on details regarding the Puppets Across The Pond trip.

As we move forward we will notify you by email or text that new items have been added.

Respond to this email address if you have questions, answers, theories or solid facts.

Ideas are welcome.

Bear in mind we will only have so much time and travel eats up some of it.

The travel schedule would need to be adhered to, however, you're grown adults and free to do what you want outside of the agenda.
