Sixth Year holiday

leprehaungirl

Soo i no it may seem early but iv heard of a few people gettin their skates on and booking it. Think il be off to Zakynthos with aloada girls from my year,Heard its very good. Bit of confusion though with the dates of results and viewing the exam scripts? So not really sure whether to go before or after the results?... Anyone else booked or looking into it?

Pigwidgeon

loads of my year have booked it already. lots are going to zakynthos and crete.
just starting to look into it now.. we were thinking about just doing like 4 days in amsterdam or something no where near definite yet what we're going to do!

Piste

Loadza people in my year are off to Aya Napa, I've heard the whole place is booked up already! My friends and I are of to Barcelona. We want to book the appartment sometime soon but the annoying thing is flights wont be up until January or so

Fringe

Heading to Zakynthos. Not really that hyped up since we decided a number of places and I would've rather went interrailing around Eastern Europe. Should still have fun anyway.

Fad

Most of my year are heading to Aya Napa, which/who I have little interest in [Seeing ever again:p] but id say it wouldn't be half bad.

I have no idea where i ll go, my friend is trying to get me to go inter railing, but there is no way I could fund that. I want to go somewhere and do very little for 1 or 2 weeks, inter railing sounds like far too much hassle after the leaving cert.

Aisling(",)

off to crete for two weeks hopefully booking it before halloween.
Dying for it!

Piste

I know of at least 4 schools who are all off to Aya Napa!

Gavin "shels"

San Antonio, Ibiza is most likely on the cards for our holiday. Mate was there this year said it was lethal. Hopefully be booking it pre-christmas with me and a mate in charge of it.:cool:

A lot of my year last year went to Aya Napa. It's there, Crete and Zakynthos that are the popular places to go. so if you want packed clubs etc then go to one of those

[Deleted for justice]

Naturally I'm not going anywhere because I have work back in Gotham I'm not into that sort of thing.

Peleus

having seen loads of pictures of my schools crete leaving cert holiday i'd advise against going there. It's basically full of irish leaving cert people. Why bother going abroad just to drink with irish people? you can do that here without paying for a holiday. For my holiday i went interrailling and it was amazing. apart from the five other irish guys i was with, i knew nobody so every day was spent meeting new random people from all over the world. As well as that, nobody knew who you were so you do whatever you want. That kind of holiday in my opinion anyway is alot better than the crete/ aya napa one's where you basically may aswell be in barcode.

This is Crete

Jello

Yeah I've no interested in those Crete/Aya Napa kinda sh*tholes. After all, Crete is the rape capital of Europe... I've heard wayy too many stories from there, no thanks.

I'm aiming to go interrailing, should be fun. Hoping to hit Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin and maybe more if we can afford it. At least there you don't have to pay €50 to get into a club packed full of annoying Irish/British and the cops won't club you if you're pissed on the street at night... and you're also in a really interesting city during the day.

Pigwidgeon

yeah we're looking at interrailing now, the 5 days within 10 for €160 or something... and just staying in cheap hostels while we're there type thing

Aisling(",)

just back from the travel agents 789 for two weeks.paying the deposit during the week.
love when things get booked and are definite!

phasers

Jaysus you're all sorted early :eek:

I have no idea what I'm doing! (I know I'm blowing off studying during easter for a week in London though...) I don't really hang out with my year and I'd only go away with somebody I trust, so it'll probably be me and my best friend going somewhere weird, I might try to talk her into going interrailing

Piste

I also want to go to Amsterdam next summer before college starts- gonna be an expensive few months

Then you just know it's going to go wrong. Whenever Gav is in charge of something it goes horribly wrong. :pac:

Wise-one

Zakynthos is brill i went about a month ago just make sure you are near enough to Laganas the best place for clubs. And book it for after the 14th.If u only go for one week youll be back for viewing scripts!

gotabi

Lanzarote all the way!!

peurto del carmen is the place to be so i hear

H-esperanza

I went inter railing this summer it was the best trip i have ever been on!!
It still had good nightclubs and cheap drink just way more on top of all that! I loved it!! Seriously i would recommend it to anyone!

marshmallow

20 of us booked Crete. I totally agree with the whole 'it's just gonna be Irish LC'ers etc.' but I just wany to go away with all the girls before we all go our separate ways!

KnifeWRENCH

I never had a 6th Yr holiday. This thread depresses me

Aisling(",)

Lucky you my parents would probably make me pay for mine with the money i made from my summer job i knew it would come back to haunt me :P

Erica-smiley

I'd go mid-july if I was you......
The results come out mid-august and the viewing of the scripts is about a week later...... so you want to be around for all of that!!

im not allowed have a job so theyve no choice.
ha love when there decisions come back to bite them

leprehaungirl

well booked it yesterday for the 25th of july...21 girls its going to be choas!:eek: Staying in Karras Studios which are meant to be deadly!
Inter railing sounds deadly too although think il be waiting till after my first in college to do that as il have more money from working.

starburst

There was a Disneyland/Paris trend in my school this year so we went there. Was pretty good. Definitely more appealing to me then Crete.

I'd go just before results came out. Good way to take your mind off it.

thinking about amsterdam, dunno though. everybody here is very organised!

I know were I'm going now anyway.:P

Gavin "shels"

A mate of mine and 20 of his mates from his school booked Crete for a week (2 days after the results), €611 each.:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Any suggestions of somewhere fun? That doesnt involve insane amounts of money or the Med?

Piste

Nothing wrong with the Med- there are worse seas out there!

How about Spain or Portugal? North spain and west portugal if the med isn't your thing. Also not too expensive either.

Eastern Europe. Three Cities(Prague Budapest and Krakow) under a grand for two weeks. includes accomodation, flights, trains. Best laugh ever. Met some people who we will be friends with for life(yeah in krakow we met a crowd from donegal.... excellent!). considering a package holiday for a week in crete is like 600 and incredibly fake and dull, the extra couple of hundred will give you a holiday of a lifetime

Nothing to do with the sea, just no of this drug crazed lunacy thanks

Any suggestions for where there may be other LCers, doesnt have to be Spain or Portugal though.

Piste

You want to avoid drug crazed lunacy, yet you also want other LCers?


The obvious places are Crete, Aya Knacka, That place beginning with Z that I can't spell...think there's a K...Ibiza, Marbella, probably South of France too.

djcervi

Piste, you mean zakynthos. half of my year are going there as well as 'aya knacka'.
I've no idea wat 2 4 mine. might be going to north spain as i've spanish friends there and my host family when i was there in TY ages ago for 2 months:D. Although i'd like to do something with my friends. Interrailing sounds good

phasers

I asked my friend about interrailing, her response was "But sure we have trains in Ireland." I think I need to explain the term somewhat

At least it didn't attain an entirely different meaning, last year it inexplicably came to mean gay sex, how? i have no ambition to find out.

GARGH I dont know, i might just get a job, and not be hideously poor during first year of college.

Aisling(",)

booked my holiday today and paid the deposit today

crete 09 here i come:D

Gay sex? I'm intrigued!
I've been thinking about just working as well, I need to try and get 900 quid together for registration! :eek:

I have a vague idea why, but what little connection there was to anything was so strained it just made no sense.

Yeah im thinking a job would be nice, id have money for Electric Picnic too

catrina101

Where are you guys booking your holidays from? I'm tryin to get a cheap deal as well i'm broke lol :L
So any websites or links that do good deals? :D:pac:

Gavin "shels"

Ibiza 09.:cool: 15 (maybe 16) of us going to San Antonio Bay for 2 weeks in August till start of Sept (4th). Gonna set us back just over €700 with travel insurance.



Just double checked the price there got up by €80 now.

Piste

Is anyone else finding it really hard to get flights? Don't think Ryanair or Air Lingus have theirs up until January or so.

Gavin "shels"

Well our 2 weeks is out of the question now.:D Going to be one week in Ibiza and then a weekend in Amsterdam all plans going ahead.:pac:

catchthepigeon

headin to malta with d lads cause d rents have a place there - whoop whoop free holiday:D

Piste

Got my confirmation email for the barcelona apartment the other day \o/


Airlingus flights are pretty expensive, what with all the taxes and charges. Gonna wait til Ryanair have their flight info up, which should be soonish.
