    No, but I'm thinking of buying some 60 Euro wooden planks from Dunnes

    No.

    I don't want to hear about other people's holiday plans.

    "Oh are you going somewhere nice this summer? Me and himself are going to the South of France in June and then a little break here at home".

    Fück off and die.

    "Here is a video of a naked toddler running across the beach and smearing chocolate icecream all over his face"

    "Ah cmon you have to watch the full 15 minutes of it, what he does in a minute is hilarious and *sooo cute*!"

    "The food and the facilities at this resort were all soo amazing! Every day trucks arrived from Sodexho filled to the brim with delicious frozen meals that they'd heat up for us for only 20 yoro"

    Went to Amsterdam in feb to see Massive Attack, im heading away for 10 days at the end of September. The destination is meant to be a surprise,but so far from the info I've gleaned from herself its somewhere involving a 9 hour flight,I've also ascertained that its not anywhere in the states or Canada.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 190 ✭✭Tunage


    I'm heading to the States in 2 weeks until September... NOT working and I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!! Wooo hoooo!!!

    Went to Spain last month. Was offered a free two weeks in Portugal with the family in August, but I volunteered to stay at the mam's house to mind my dog.

    Nothing else planned, might manage a weekend in Galway sometime in July

    Just wingman one of the other lads on the first two stags, you might be able to swindle a 3rd one out before the year ends

    8 days in Italy a couple of weeks ago. Madrid is planned for September. Will do a few days in Ireland in between.

    Just back from my first family holiday where I was the parent. It was great. Bit of apprehensive going abroad with a toddler quickly dissipated and we'd a great time :)

    These threads so often provide a platform for those with a penchant for showing off the chance to spout all the places they've been to so far and give a chance to gleefully list off their future exotic plans. Showboatery!

    Disney land with kids in September, and Vegas for honeymoon at xmas


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 920 ✭✭✭Bored_lad


    Italy for a small break and then a while in Cuba. We left it late to book Cuba so it was hard to find availability in some places. We'll probably go to London as well at some stage but we don't have anything planned for that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,062 ✭✭✭✭anewme


    Had a week on the Camino in March, (will do another stretch next year as I loved it so much) away to the States(I've never been before!) in about 5 weeks and will probably have another European City break) somewhere in September.

    People are always saying, "oh are you going away AGAIN, sure you are only back". Or "oh, Celtic Tiger must be back and so on. This type of begrudgery cheeses me off so I smile sweetly and say, ah no, Sure I've always had 2 holidays a year!

    I work hard and long hours 47 weeks a year so I can travel the other 5!!! The planning and anticipation gets me through tough times and there's always something to look forward to!

    5 weeks travelling? Constantly in planes and buses etc? Sounds like hell to me. Would you not be better off taking a holiday?

    Just make sure that you move up the train in order to alight safely on the platform...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,507 ✭✭✭Buona Fortuna

    Would have to get someone to look after my gals so ... no.

    Maybe your definition of a holiday might be my idea of hell just as my definition of travel is your definition of hell.

    Taking a tram in San Fran. Helicopter over the Grand Canyon. Motor biking on Route 66. Yep love travel.

    Can't wait!

    Each to their own.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,070 ✭✭✭MarkY91


    Went to liverpool I'm February and I'm going again in July.

    Pretty much yep, but I like reading where other people are off to, well for them I say and I hope they enjoy themselves :)

    But whatever I do when I go abroad is a holiday, regardless of what I'm doing wherever I go. Why do you call it "travelling" and not a holiday? Is there a difference? Or are you in some state of perpetual motion in a helicopter or tram?

    Something I would like to do is rent a little house somewhere in the west of the country for a week. Beside the sea. Just myself.

    I was planning on doing it three years ago but I met a guy and got totally wrapped up in him. There hasn't really been any time since then. Now there is time.
