How does he identify the
place?
He identified the trip as
something that anyone can do with any time frame. With his itinerary you can
pick and choose which items on the list you can visit. Since he also provides
how many days you should spend in each this makes planning for the trip all the
easier. It also helps in deciding how long you want to stay for. He gives
options for three day excursions and for the full twenty one day trips.
How does he critique the
excursion?
Rick does not do much
critiquing of the actual places he saw and visited but rather he critiqued the
times to visit, the weather, and the types of transportation you can use. This
is very different from what I expected but it is also good as these things can
be the most irritating part of a vacation. Since he tells you what to expect
from each aspect there are relatively no surprises and this allows you to relax
and enjoy the vacation like you are supposed to do.
Assess his tone.
In the first paragraph it
is very clear that Rick Steves loved his visit to Ireland. By him just saying,
“So much to see, so little time. How to choose?” you can tell that he enjoyed
the trip. His tone is filled with excitement and enthusiasm, it almost sounds
as if he is trying to get you to buy a trip to Ireland. But he also does not
come off as a salesman trying to sell you something. It sounds more like a
friend who has just come back from Ireland and wants you to have the same
experience that he did.
