In this episode of One Slice at a Time, Stephanie and Ryan are talking about one of Stephanie’s most exciting upcoming hosted trips: Ireland in 2027.

This hosted group trip is designed for travelers who want to experience Ireland’s castles, coastlines, music, food, history, whiskey, and local charm without having to figure out every hotel, transfer, route, and ticket on their own.

Stephanie’s Ireland itinerary includes:

• Dublin
• A traditional Irish evening
• Kilkenny
• Waterford
• Blarney Castle
• Killarney
• Ring of Kerry
• Cliffs of Moher
• Galway
• Kilbeggan Distillery
• Cabra Castle

The trip also offers two optional extensions:

• Three nights in London before Ireland
• Three nights in Edinburgh after Ireland

Stephanie and Ryan talk about who this trip is best for, why Ireland is a great first Europe trip, what makes hosted group travel easier, and why ending in a castle is the perfect finish.

Ryan also shares his Crusty Review of Dough Bros in Galway, which may or may not become an unofficial required stop.

The main Ireland tour starts April 30, 2027.

In this episode of One Slice at a Time, Stephanie and Ryan start a three-part air travel series with a practical look at modern airfare.

Most travelers think they are simply buying a seat from point A to point B. But airfare also includes rules, restrictions, baggage policies, seat access, boarding order, change terms, refund rules, and recovery options if something goes wrong.

We talk about:

– Why there is no magic Tuesday booking rule
– Why airfare prices can change so quickly
– The difference between booked and ticketed
– Why group airfare pricing gets complicated
– What basic economy really means
– Why basic economy can be a bad fit for families
– Why nonstop and direct flights are not the same thing
– How short connections can create major problems
– Why international trips need more connection buffer
– What codeshares mean for travelers
– Why skiplagging can create serious risks
– How travel advisors think through flights for cruises, tours, groups, and major vacations
– The questions you should ask before booking airfare

Ryan also reviews room service pizza from Pier 66 in Fort Lauderdale and gives it a surprisingly solid score.

Ryan is back from Tahiti, and this episode may have Stephanie ready to pack a bag.

This week on One Slice at a Time, Stephanie and Ryan talk through Ryan’s seven-night Windstar Cruises Dreams of Tahiti sailing aboard the Star Breeze. From the clear blue water of Bora Bora to drift snorkeling, private motu beach events, Polynesian culture, overwater bungalows, and Windstar’s small-ship service, Ryan shares what made this trip feel so special.

They also talk through the real-life logistics of getting to Tahiti, why arriving early matters, what to know about late-night flights home, and why this kind of trip is one you should plan carefully with a travel advisor.

And of course, Ryan manages to find pizza in Papeete for this week’s Crusty Review.
