Lake Garda is boring.
Nice food but not much going on there.
Venice is nearby but I thought it was a kip. Verona also near and is a very nice place.

Thinking about one of these all inclusive waterpark hotel places. Kids can swim now and with tons of energy to burn off it seem logical. Also they can pig out on ices and drinks. We always do a flydrive so we have a choice where we end up. This stayput option could backfire if the place was shitty..

Flooded, I suppose. Hard to drive to your hotel?

Could be useful in Portugal, also a good spot for the hols.

And of course Angola, once you realise that machimbombo doesn't have quite the same connotations as in Keady. The missus always likes a couple of sparklers from Angola.

Thinking of taking the family to Florida (Disneyland) in a couple of years, any decent travel agents or online sites do good packages or better just booking it all separate yourself ?

DIY. Rent a house and a car and away you go. You will have your own pool, can do all your laundry before you come home, it also works out much cheaper. You will get good deals on passes for the various parks out there.

Aer Lingus have a sale on transatlantic flights at the minute.

Yes have done this twice, well that's not entirely true, her parents have paid for both trips, but they have done it this way, large Villa with pool and two cars for the three families that go, in fairness we did pay for the Disney tickets, which can be expensive ;)

So they are taking us away this Easter can't wait 5 star complex in the Caneries all inclusive!! Boom, I love my inlaws
