BobDobalina Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 The Mrs. and I are about to take a long overdue holiday this april, but having trouble figuring out where to go. - Basically looking to relax & get in a little bit of culture but not feel obligated to be on a constant sightseeing mission. - Somewhat nicer weather than dublin in april (or dublin anytime for that matter) would be a plus. - Would like to do it on the cheap (relatively) which probably keeps us in/around europe. If any you cultured folk can offer some interesting suggestions it'd make my day. Go ahead, make my day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCM Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 if you want nice weather in april for not too much money your best bet would be one of the canary islands... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobDobalina Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 thanks for the legit replies, we have been/are looking a these places, particularly the canaries, however it feels like we're getting dicked around when a lot of these supposedly cheap places aren't coming up all that cheap, either we find a good flight but the accommodation is expensive, or we find a good place to stay but the flights are expensive. The irish airlines are a bigger cocktease than southwest in terms of dangling an unrealistically low fare in front of you, only to find out they're never available when most human beings travel. fucking planning a vacation almost isn't worth the work sometimes, at least it seems that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squee Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Mushroom picking in Chernobyl. Have a Babushka cook some solyanka with your bounty for you. Have fond memories to that trip in April when you and your wife make this: I've actually been looking into trips to Chernobyl. I'm obsessed with the thought of a deserted cities!

Guest countchocula Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 There was this special on the discovery channel about life on earth if humans suddenly disappeared/died off. They were using Chernobyl as an example and had amazing footage from there. It was so beautiful/strange/eerie/awesome all at the same time.

keltoi Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Do Parisians hate the Irish as much as Americans? Probably not--I don't think anyone could top that. parisians hate everyone. but not as much as americans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobDobalina Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 paris?? i thought you wanted a cheap holiday? As Ireland's the most expensive country in the euro zone I'm not too worried, plus the airfare only came to 200 round trip for the two of us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Ireland's the most expensive country in the euro zone I'm not too worried, plus the airfare only came to 200 round trip for the two of us fair enough, but paris has a reputation for charging extortionate prices to tourists for food, beers etc...in this way it's very much like london.
