Summer vacation ideas while there's still time: Here are 6 smart spots to consider

There’s still plenty of time this summer to make topnotch travel getaway plans. Sure, a road trip to the mountains or a week at the beach is ideal for a well-deserved summer vacation — but if you’re looking for some suggestions that are an airplane away, read on. Fox News Digital spoke to several travel experts to find out how to pursue your wanderlust, whether it’s a solo trip, a couple’s escape, a friends’ getaway or a special family vacation.INTERNATIONAL DESTINATIONS YOU CAN TRAVEL TO THIS SUMMER FOR THE ULTIMATE VACATIONCheck out these six intriguing options, each with plenty to offer.Whether you want to explore your (or a friend’s or family member’s) Irish heritage, play golf or immerse yourself in the food and drink scene, the Emerald Isle is a place to consider.It offers a unique blend of bustling cities such as Dublin and Belfast, charming coastal cities like Cork and Galway, and rolling countryside towns throughout the spectacular island. Getting there is a cinch, as there are direct flights from Midwest and East Coast airports — making it easy for the young and the young at heart. TRAVELING TO PARIS? 6 THINGS TO DO ASIDE FROM WATCHING THE OLYMPICS While in Ireland, be sure to visit the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin, which offers a “brewery experience” while sharing tales of “Ireland’s famous beer” with tastings and a rooftop bar, according to its website; and consider a visit to the whiskey distilleries of Jameson, Teeling and Pearse Lyons. Afterward, consider the centrally located Grafton Hotel for a peaceful night’s rest. The summer months are considered the best time to travel to Ireland, according to Intrepid Travel, an agency based in Canada. While you might enjoy nice weather, summer is also peak season — so you can expect crowds at popular destinations. WORLD TRAVELERS GAVE UP EVERYTHING TO SEE 92 COUNTRIES AND COUNTING: ‘WHY NOT?’If you want to avoid the crowds, look into traveling during the “shoulder” season in autumn, according to Tourism Ireland.Another destination to consider as a summer escape is Catalina Island, which is about 50 miles off the coast of Los Angeles. It’s roughly an hour’s ferry ride. Offering something for almost every type of traveler, the versatile destination has fine dining and luxury hotels. Visitors can also camp within the island’s wild terrain.Other highlights are water activities like swimming, snorkeling, kayaking or paddleboarding.ARE YOU PLANNING A TRIP TO CALIFORNIA? HERE’S A GUIDE TO ATTRACTIONS TO ADD TO YOUR VISITWhile on land, consider touring the Wrigley Memorial and Botanic Gardens, plus savor the natural beauty of more than 100 hiking trails on the island. “Catalina Island provides a Mediterranean-style escape closer to the West Coast and is a good alternative to Capri, Italy,” said Christie Hudson, travel expert at Expedia in Seattle. “Both destinations offer breathtaking coastal views, clear waters ideal for snorkeling and a relaxed island atmosphere.”Yet the price difference is huge. FROM FLORIDA TO CALIFORNIA: THE MOST POPULAR VACATIONS IN AMERICA TO BOOK RIGHT NOWA flight from Austin, Texas, to Los Angeles is $310 compared to a flight from Austin to Naples, Italy — which averages $1,870, said Hudson.   If you dream of a splurge-worthy dream trip to Italy but don’t want to face the crowds this summer — consider an alternate Italian trip. Zicasso CEO Brian Tan, based in Mountain View, California, said that while Italy remains a high-demand destination for Zicasso travelers, the travel company is seeing a rise in slightly lesser-known regions, such as the Dolomites in northern Italy. DOG MOM SPENDS $900 TAKING HER PUP ON MONTH-LONG EUROPEAN VACATION ACROSS ITALY: ‘GREAT COMPANION’”It’s off-the-beaten path from the usual Rome/Florence/Venice crowds, has cooler temperatures, amazing mountain vistas, lush valleys, memorable drives, and charming towns, including Cortina D’Ampezzo, host of the 2026 Winter Olympic Games,” said Tan. Furthermore, a region like the Dolomites can be paired easily with traditionally popular major gateway cities like Rome, he said. Copenhagen is likely the most visited city in Denmark. This Scandinavian country offers endless opportunities for culture, history and foodie experiences, plus coastal benefits. “Denmark is a surprisingly good place for a beach holiday in peak summer, with over 4,500 miles of coastline and uncrowded, white, sandy beaches,” said Daniel Burnham, senior flight expert with Going.com. “Within the past 10 days we’ve seen nonstop fares to Copenhagen from $375 nonstop out of Boston, New York, Miami, Chicago, Atlanta and Los Angeles for travel from July-November 2024,” he also said.  TRAVELING INTERNATIONALLY? IT COULD BE ILLEGAL TO BRING ALONG THESE MEDICATIONS, ACCORDING TO A PHARMACISTIn addition, a Denmark trip can be a launching point for seeing other European countries,c such as Finland, Norway, Sweden or the United Kingdom.If you’re a Caribbean enthusiast but don’t want the same “been there, done that” island experience, it might be time to consider Saint Vincent — where the “Pirates of the Caribbean” was filmed. “There’s a new Sandals there now, and it’s a sweet property,” said Kelley Connor, a travel adviser with AAA Club Alliance in Marlton, New Jersey. For more Lifestyle articles, visit www.foxnews.com/lifestyle”It’s the first all-inclusive [offering] on the island, located on 50 lush acres with a beautiful beach and surrounded by mountains and rainforest.”Saint Vincent is south of St. Lucia in the Eastern Caribbean. “Right now, it’s pure and undisturbed, providing a relaxing vacation that offers the best of all beach vacations without the hordes of tourists,” Connor said. “The rainforest is filled with tropical birds and cascading waterfalls, and the snorkeling and scuba diving is sublime, due to the exotic beauty beneath the quiet turquoise waters.”Gulf Shores, Alabama is gaining popularity among travelers who are seeking a blend of pristine beaches, outdoor activities and southern hospitality, according to Booking.com information shared with Fox News Digital. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERIt’s a quintessential beach escape — with 32 miles of white, sandy beaches perfect for swimming, sunbathing and water sports. Be sure to make time for Gulf State Park, a must-visit for nature enthusiasts — plus it offers kayaking, fishing and hiking. Also, a dolphin cruise showcases the region’s scenic beauty of the Gulf while offering the chance to spot these adorable mammals. This destination is very family-friendly and ideal for a multi-generational trip.

The World of Guinness - Dublin, Ireland

We are all about Guinness today - we had a fun time on our self-guided tour. We had to take the obligatory photo as we walked up to the brewery. The building was huge, we had to walk a full city block to get to the entrance.

Lots of people arrived for their tours in these little buggies - this horse was so pretty and well-behaved!

The Guinness Storehouse is impressive, it contains seven floors that offer an immersive experience in the history of Guinness and the brewing process. They have been brewing beer in this building for over 250 years.

Looking up and down, from about halfway up the building.

We learned a lot about the ingredients and process:

The displays were awesome, so much to take in, we were getting a bit thirsty.....

The tour continues, with a small taste of Guinness - just enough to get you through the rest of the tour!

The next portion of the tour was all about the Guinness brand and a collection of Guinness advertisements. It was very entertaining and concluded with a short video of some of their most historic commercials.

They definitely save the best for last on this tour, the seventh floor is a bar, where you get your complimentary beer and a 360-degree view of Dublin. It was a bit crowded, but we found a table and then we had a couple from Belfast join us. Great beer, great views, and great people to share it with!

After the tour, we returned to the huge store on the first floor - I bought my first souvenir, a fleece "jumper", and Doug added to his shirt collection. We finally exited the building - I think we spent over 2 hours wandering through that place!

We walked around a bit, just taking in a few sights and enjoying the pretty day:

St. James Catholic Church.

Pearse Lyons Whiskey Distillery.....I thought it was a church! Worship the Whiskey must be their slogan!

Heuston Station - Dublin's train station - looks like a decorated cake!

We had a late lunch at this beautiful old pub. Nancy Hands was the first female owner of a pub in Dublin and Ireland.

Pearse Lyons 12 +/- 2018 (43 %)

Den eldste tapningen fra Lyons, 12-åringen, er også den eneste single malten. Den har ligget på eks-bourbonfat. Navnet er «Founder’s Choice».

På nesen: Koriander, pære, vanilje, sitron, malt, litt hvit sjokolade og grønne epler. Smaken var søt, med pærer, litt konvoluttlim, vanilje og malt. Avslutningen var middels lang, med malt, eplesaft, konvoluttlim og pære. Søt. Med vann kom det til noe blomster på nesen, i tillegg til litt gress. Smaken fikk litt hasselnøtter, i tillegg til pære og toffee. Avslutningen ble en anelse lenger, med maltsødme, pære og et hint av lys sirup.

Dette var en fin dram, med god fylde og utvikling i glasset, og med et tydelig Cooley-preg (i hvert fall etter min gane).

Karakter: 85/100

WHISKYCAST HD: REVIVING WHISKEY DISTILLING IN DUBLIN’S LIBERTIES

Time for a new episode of WhiskyCast HD...and this time around, we're exploring the resurrection of whiskey distilling in Dublin's Liberties. At one point, Dublin was the center of the whiskey universe until a number of factors created the "perfect storm" that ended Irish Whiskey's dominance, and the Liberties was home to most of Dublin's distilleries. That came to an end in 1976, when the Powers John's Lane distillery closed for good.

Four decades later, the Teeling brothers opened their distillery in Newmarket Square, and they've been joined by the new Pearse Lyons Distillery. Two more distilleries are under construction, the Dublin Liberties Distillery and Diageo's Roe & Co. Distillery being built in the old power station at the Guinness St. James's Gate brewing complex.

Pour a dram, sit back, and watch as we look at the revival of Dublin Whiskey!

Pearse Lyons “Founder's Choice” 12 Year Old Irish Whiskey

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, friends! Chasing away the snakes with a dram of this stuff. This is batch #012 and it’s quite nice. It’s also a single malt and you don’t see that as often with Irish whiskey. This guy almost smells like an aged sweet riesling or cognac even - apples, peaches, pears, green herbs, yellow flowers on the nose. Apples, peaches, fruit cocktail from a can (like when you were a kid), herbs, white tea, and wood. Nice finish with hints of oak and tobacco. Sláinte!

Pearse Lyons 7 +/- 2018 (43 %)

Sjuåringen fra irske Lyons er også en blend, og den har navnet «Distiller’s Choice». Whiskeyen har ligget på eks sherry- og bourbonfat.

På nesen fikk jeg koriander, vanilje, litt karamell, sitron, aprikos, røde roser og litt krydder. Smaken var preget av krydder, vanilje, litt kokos, malt og et hint av anis. Avslutningen var middels lang og halvtørr, med sitrus og et hint av anis. Med et par dråper vann kom det til noe mer vanilje på nesen, lavendel, toffee og et hint av rosmarin. Smaken fikk også mer vanilje, råsprit og et hint av konvoluttlim (hei, Cooley!). Avslutningen ble tørrere og kortere, med et tydeligere råspritpreg. Litt pæredrops også.

En grei dram med ok balanse, i hvert fall uten vann tilsatt. Noe mer å by på har den enn de yngre variantene fra Pearse, men noen kompleks smaksbombe er det jo ikke.

ALL IN THE WHISKEY FAMILY (WHISKYCAST EPISODE 652: JULY 30, 2017)

The Likarish family opened Ironroot Republic Distillery in Denison, Texas in 2013. Brothers Jonathan and Robert Likarish handle the distilling, while their mother Marcia serves as distillery manager. Even though they've only been open for four years, they've collaborated to make several award-winning whiskies, including the Texas Legation Bourbon for Berry Bros. & Rudd in London. We sat down for a chat in the tasting room at Reserve 101 in Houston for this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Chivas Brothers workers in Scotland are preparing for a one-day strike next Monday after rejecting a second contract offer, while Douglas Laing & Co. has unveiled plans for a distillery of its own in Glasgow and Alltech's Dr. Pearse Lyons has finally opened his new distillery in Dublin. We'll have some of your whisky bucket list items and tasting notes for two Indian single malts, too!
