Holidays

[Nanderson]

Thinking of heading to Galway over Easter for a few days.

There is me, the missus plus 4 kids.

Any recommendations re hotels or self catering accommodation?

Been nearly 20 years since we went to Galway as kids but we stayed along the Salthill promenade and it was incredible. Think there is a few nice hotels along that stretch and its not far from the city centre itself. Think there is a swimming pool with slides etc, minigolf and fun fair in the area as well

I've tried searching this thread for posts on Euro Camp Holidays as I'm sure I've seen them mentioned before, but its returning nothing(?)

Currently exploring the idea of our first trip abroad with the kids – 6, 4 & 3
We liked the idea of the ferry to Brittany, but its around 17 hours & actually quite expensive so looking at flying
Has anyone any airport/camp combinations to recommend? Thinking short transfer
I've been checking flights to Nates/Paris/Amsterdam – might have to go the 12th week which isn't always ideal

I'm seeing flights from ~£800-1300 (before luggage) & the camp starts at less than £800 which isn't bad at all compared to a package holiday

Skipol Airport, Amsterdam to Duinrell Eurocamp is approx 40 mins.

We pre-booked the taxi bus before headed over.

Perpignan Airport, a small handy airport, Aer Lingus flights in, a half dozen + camps within 40-60 minutes radius, car essential tho imo, can be stressful in itself.

Fly to Nice and there are any amount of campsites along that coast line, we always hired a car, but its go so expensive nowadays that if I was doing it again the bus/train combo works best, depending on the age of the kids and the type of site you have booked into, there is really no need to leave it

great 5 star campsite in Biscarrosse called La Rive. a week there will be about 500 euro outside of july and august

I've a chance of going to North east Thailand next Christmas for a wedding. Would have a blank canvas for probably 10 days after in the area. Any recommendations for Laos, Thailand, Vietnam area?

Currently looking at a couple of the camps in that area. Do they attract many Irish?
I would be hoping the kids can meet ones and get out from under my feet for the week.

There will be a few Irish there. Make sure the camps are running and that the instructors have English. Email the camp if unsure.
Also if hoping to do watersports on lake etc a lot of those extra activities incur a charge and only get going during the peak season

Anyone been round Tuscany on thier travels?

[Aughafad]

Gents, i will be in rome for the Tyrone game on sunday and was wondering if any of you would know somewhere in the city to watch the game?

[gallsman]

There's a GAA club called Rome Hibernians. Could try giving them a shout.

When I lived there, Abbey Theatre pub showed the GAA, as did Scholars Lounge pub. I preferred the Abbey Theatre personally.

There's the scholars lounge which is your sort of touristy type Irish bar. Then you've Finnegan's (around the corner from the colosseum) which is a more authentic Irish pub which will most likely show the GAA rather than the soccer (Arsenal play Tottenham on the Sunday at 2pm also)
