Do people in ireland go on big fancy holidays anymore?

Since the recession, It has stopped alot.

But there are the odd few who still go to florida and out to australia.

Where do you go on holiday?

I work part-time in retail 'cause I'm still in university. That's about it, just been saving for the last while to afford it and shopped around for cheap flights. Accommodation is a private room in a hostel so nothing fancy. But sure, don't need anything posh, all I'll be doing is sleeping in it.

Didn't go anywhere last year, not go anywhere this year and won't go anywhere next year.

Gotta pay off them banks, don't ya know....

sunflower27 · 06-06-2011 05:36PM

Went on two holidays last year... this year not working so no chance.

I got a 40e return flight to London in a few weeks to see my best friend and we are going to head down to her boat down south for a few days. It ain't the Med, but I know we'll have a great time regardless and I am really looking forward to it

phasers · 06-06-2011 05:39PM

Never went on holidays, I never understood it being the norm to spend hundreds, sometimes thousands of euro on a trip abroad

Book early, you can get great deals on flights. I am going fri to mon although would have been cheaper if i went mid-week.

Pick a city you haven't been to before and check it out. Hotels always cheaper and great deals mid-week.

deathrider · 06-06-2011 06:01PM

Never really seen the point in big holidays to mental hot countires. Sitting about in the sun all day just isn't my idea of a great time. Every few years I travel to England and Scotlands to visit some old friends, that's about as much holidaying as I do.

RobitTV · 06-06-2011 06:23PM

I Know alot of people who still go on fancy holiday's

Florida, Sydney And LA they go to.

i would have to save a very long time to go on them holiday's these days.

tan11ie · 06-06-2011 06:32PM

Yep I take ten days away during the summer then a trip to the US every October:D save save save....well worth it!!

Rickwellwood · 06-06-2011 06:33PM

Yeah go on about 2-3 big holidays per year and a half dozen other city breaks I'd say.

God (or insert diety of choice or none) be with the days - I remember a holiday I went on, - 14 days in Egypt being described as "The holiday of a lifetime" and in my f**ked up thinking at the time thinking, 'not likely, I'm doing something of this type EVERY year from now on' hahahahaha !!

Now, a week in the crummiest craphole of a resort in Spain would be heaven...... or maybe not, - thinking of outfitting a very old van as a camper and doing a few summer trips for next year. Finances permitting of course.

Dudess · 06-06-2011 06:59PM

Not since 2009 due to low funds/difficulty getting suitable dates off work - will go this year though, but not til winter.

Do you go on holiday anymore?
