My daughter, husband and sprogs (8-12) are going to Rome for a few days in April. Has anyone here any experience of sprog friendly hotels in that noble city. I gather theyāre up to speed with sights, food emporia and religious matters. TIA.
Some grand cheap Ryanair flights, Dublin to Kyiv, at the moment at ā¬14.99 but a little bit more expensive coming back at ā¬55.
Just thinking of all ye accomplished travellers out there.
lads, im off to dubai with the missus in april. can i get some suggestions for things to do and see, and possibly restaurants.
also, if the retail outlets are worth a visit
thanks in advance
Found it was like going to a massive dundrum on my holidays. All you can do is go to shopping malls as thereās fuck all heritage or history to see.
Enjoy!

Where abouts are you staying Art? Thereās literally every type of restaurant there so depends what you want. Its tacky as fuck with no real history but the ladies seem to love it there.

booked into the QE2 (missus had a significant birthday recently). i presume most of the restaurants will be in the jumeirah beach area?
did you do the burj al khalifa, thinking of the restaurant there for the final birthday treat.
is there savings on the shopping there compared to ireland? need to know if i need to bring an extra suitcase for herself
a pity, that was a corker of a post

I had a post written here but Iāve just seen its Ramadan in April. This will be an absolute disaster. Most food places outside of hotels closed during the day. No drinking water by swimming pools in some hotels. Some restaurants wonāt serve booze when they open too. Itād be worth checking out first what is open or shut for the time youāre there. Or are your dates flexible at all?
Bring plenty of sunscreen for your baldy head
Lanzarote bound again today 2nd time in 4 months this lark of having kids in your 20s paying off in spades now, none of the school holidays lark to be cognisant about now.

I was in Boston for the last week or so. I wouldnāt be a big enough wanker to tell the tale in the business travellers threadā¦
Smashing City. Changed massively since the last time I was there about 12 years ago. Went to a celtics match, ate in a savage Italian, visited some cracking bars, walked a few hours through the city through Boston Common at night.
Very white, very new in places, very quiet. Dead after midnight.
