You told him where to go

In January we asked readers what destinations -- one in Florida, one elsewhere in North America and one outside the continent -- they would like to see visited this year by Travel Editor Robert N. Jenkins.

We decided to sample the scene in less-traveled parts of readers' favorites, rather than catalog every attraction.

Today we run the first report, on a destination outside North America. Here's a look at part of the Irish Republic. Later this month we'll report on St. Augustine, and this fall on western New York.
