It's the Fianna Fáil package tour featuring the Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, all around Ireland. You can buy your ticket, have a good time and get a sense of how the candidate is being received, but like many of these budget deals you're not getting the entire picture.
Bertie always likes to retain a certain inscrutability. It's been said that he's like an iceberg, and you only see 10 per cent of him at any one time. Well, in the case of a day's canvassing you do get to see most of him, but only for a certain amount of the time.
On this tour everything is organised to within an inch of its life, not least the media. But on Saturday the hacks were beginning to get a bit restless during a tour of Meath and Westmeath. "Where is the Taoiseach going next?" the journalists would ask. "The next (media) stop is..." was how the answer was phrased.
Everyone was told to gather on Saturday morning in Ashbourne, Co Meath. But the Taoiseach let slip that he had earlier been in Summerhill, chatting to "members of the Meath team going off training".
The cream pie that landed on Bertie's cheek in Sligo a few weeks ago has long been wiped away, but do the psychological scars remain?.
The risk in canvassing is that anything can happen; but of all the politicians he is simply one of the best at this glad-handingand would probably cope with anything thrown at him (either literally or figuratively).
In Ashbourne one of the party's three candidates, the Minister of State, Mary Wallace, is running to keep up. He bounds off up the street, shaking hands with people stuck in traffic; those in shops; shoppers on the street. He's completely at ease, appears to enjoy it immensely and mostly leaves people looking happy in his wake. It's all been so dizzyingly fast, they're generally left with a slightly bemused but smiling expression.
The odd voter is fast enough to actually formulate a question. "How are you?" he asks a woman who looks to be in her early 30s. "I'm OK. But I want you to do something about childcare," she reponds. On the run Bertie gives her a pat on the arm. "Oh, we have, we have."
On to the local shopping centre. At one point he's standing near a boutique called Smarty Pants. Tour manager Pat Farrell, a former Fianna Fáil general secretary, spots the sign and indicates to another member of the tour party that he is to be kept away from that particular photo opportunity.
"Next media stop is Navan at 1.30 p.m." the journalists are told. That leaves about an hour and a half. What is he doing in between?
It's yet another shopping centre in Mullingar. Donie Cassidy is at Bertie's elbow, while Mary O'Rourke is making a great play of showing her maturity by keeping a discreet distance. This is Donie's territory. But, dressed in a vivid pink jacket, she's hard to miss. The two are well-known constituency squabblers.
After a few more shopping centres in Athlone the Taoiseach returns to Dublin. Apparently he is in Mayo tomorrow and goes on to Galway. But nobody's really sure.
