Viking and Gaelic History Come Alive on Dublin Vacation
Ubiquity International Cultural Specialist David Fitzpatrick Leads Tour

Piedmont, CA – March 14, 2006 – There’s more to Ireland than green, shamrocks and St. Patrick’s Day. Many think of this as a day of parades and green beer. But do you know the legend behind this formerly religious day, and that there really was a saint called Patrick?

With the luck of the Irish on your side and the expert guidance of Cultural Specialist David Fitzpatrick, you too can learn the lore of this land of leprechauns, castles and legends. Fitzpatrick, 37, leads tours of Dublin, Ireland for Ubiquity International, the premier provider of unique cultural, historical and educational travel experiences throughout the world.

“David shows travelers how to enjoy Dublin in a most memorable fashion,” said Thomas Talboy, who founded Ubiquity International in 2004 to become a distinctive travel firm offering one-of-a-kind trips led by Cultural Specialists. “Dublin is a city of dreams, and we’d like you to come share them with us.”

Fitzpatrick has a passionate interest in modern Irish history, Irish films and Gaelic football. He currently works at The Open University in Milton Keynes, England, an institution dedicated to the provision of distance learning in higher education. Fitzpatrick met Talboy years ago when both were reading for PhD degrees in Classics from the University of Nottingham.

Ubiquity International’s Dublin tour is offered to individual travelers and families from August 6 to 17, 2006. Visiting a variety of castles, the Viking Museum, Christchurch Cathedral, Bernard Shaw’s birthplace and the famed Guinness Storehouse, Fitzpatrick guides travelers through a cultural and educational adventure. He leads daily seminars on local history and legend, shows travelers what pubs pour the best stout, where to shop, dine and enjoy an evening of Irish dancing, and much more.

In addition to Ireland, Ubiquity International offers specialized itineraries to destinations in Italy, France, Greece, Spain and Perú. Tours are led by Cultural Specialists who share their knowledge about the language, art, history and culture of the destinations, offering travelers a unique perspective into the sites and cities visited.
