Where Are You Going On Holidays This Year?

Ross_Mahon

My family go to spain every year, like lots of other Irish familys, you arrive at a hotel that looks nothing like the brochure, everything about the place is horrible. You sit at a pool all day, and then watch your parents drink at the pub all night, now this is an Irish pub that looks exactly like the one back home. This process is repeated throughout the two weeks with a visit to an over packed water park in the second week.

I want to go somewhere more colder this year, i was thinking a ski holiday. But prices seen to be very high, has anyone been on a ski holiday? And where is everyone going away to?

Been on loads of ski holidays. Try Zakopane or Argentiere, both nice and not pricey.

I was skiing for Christmas. You can't beat Austria for the apres ski. I'm going again for Easter. Then I'm off to NZ in April with 3 weeks in Malaysia on the way. Will do trips over there e.g .skiing in queenstown for a week, a month in Autralia and Chrismtas in Fiji. It's a good year for me travelwise!

It's funny we never went on sun holidays when we were kids. My parents piled us in the car and we drove around loads of different places in Europe. I'm actually quite grateful now, I've seen a lot Europe I wouldn't have seen otherwise. I'm still not a big fan of just going to the sun for a week. I'm a bit of a tourist and like to see things.

Did it cost much going on a skiing holiday?

It's pretty expensive. My parents own an apartment over there though and we have all our gear etc and don't need lessons so it's not too expensive for me. It's not a cheap holiday by any means though. I haven't gone on a proper package week in a few years but I believe bulgaria is good for cheaper holidays. My friend invited me on a trip this year that was gong to cost €1500. I laughed hollowly!

Maybe try the travel or winter sports forum?

Crete

Poland in March- Easter is bigger than Christmas there.
Then Prague in July for 2 days, onto germany for 2 days and then Poland again for another 12 days or so. The first few days in Poland we're going to visit some friends and we'll go to a gun range, go quad biking and spend time in the countryside. The second week some friends of ours are flying over from Dublin and we're gonna take them to Krakow and Zakopane.

Hersonissos I presume?

I really wouldn't be calling Ireland a kip until you've got there, then you'll know exactly what a kip is. Good for a studenty type holiday as the price certainly reflects the quality of the place.

BKtje

Going to jam in the dam in March, westport during the summer and Florida in september or so.

I'm sure i'll add something else too. I didn't do anything major last year so am making up for it somewhat

Mrs. MacGyver

Amsterdam next week. Canada in the last 2 weeks of March. Cumbria last week of February. Roscommon in July.

New Zealand to see a mate who emigrated there. London definitely. Need to get a bit of sunshine too. I'm fortunate enough to get six weeks holidays a year, always too busy to take them all though.

Mexico, theres no better way to clean your system than a dodgy taco from a street vendor.

Either Iceland or the Shetland Islands... and a few days here and there around Ireland. Lying on a beach is my idea of hell. I'm a go-see-something person. Each to their own, I suppose...
