Well, you SHOULD go to Ireland! After all, you paid for your trip and got
nothing.

Did you know that Jimmy Hyland, original owner of ITS International Tours, has
started a new pilgrimage travel company?
Perhaps he used your money to fund it.

Yes, we knew that Jimmy Hyland opened a new location less than 10 miles from
the ITS International Tours office. Jimmy Hyland claims Joe Maloof took all
the money and took over the ITS Tour Co.

Jimmy Hyland has new site ( CatholicJourneys.com ) that has the Pope's picture
on it ....as if it was endorsed by the Vatican??? Hopefully further
investigation will sort out what happened to thousands of folks tour money
that was in an escrow account on deposit for tours in the Hibernia bank.
