Why do you hate the environment so much?

In fairness, he loves it now. His fads usually last 9-12 months. Heâs about 6 months in. Heâll be all about voodoo by the summer solstice.
Fair play Johnny - I think I might shoot off to Killarney for a few days myself next week after reading that - I need a spa break.
I enjoyed Aghadoe the last time - more of a 4.5 than 5 star but very relaxed and nice spa. Think iâll take two nights.
Whereâs the best place to burn some nappies in around Killarney?
Oooft.
Heâs caused the fires there all by himself with that carbon footprint
Flying to Oz is bordering on environmental vandalism at this stage.
But the baby will be sleeping somewhere by about 7/8pm. At a campsite at least @johnnysachs and his missus can hang out outside or in the kitchen bit. Nothing worse than sitting in the dark in a hotel room not wanting to wake the baby. Camping sounds like the job. Maybe try a swingers campsite if you want the holiday âto be anythingâ, like you said.

Assuming you have other kids that will be able to enjoy the campsite facilities?
We did exactly that twice, once to Brittany and once to Cornwall with kids a few months old, its the best holiday you can have with small kids, I prefer the English Haven campsites but youâre slightly less likely to get the weather as you are in Brittany and youâve more driving to do, go for it,
Papal indulgences for the environmental conscience.
Tell your kids that trip to Oz cost them their futures.

Taking a child under 1 is way easier than once they hit toddler years.
Did 2 trips to Portugal with our little one before she was 11 months and it was great but taking now at 2 and a half and the terrible 2âs is a completely different proposition.
But unless baby has bad colic or reflux go on holidays now for sure @anon61878697

Or at least a self-catering option. Campsites are pretty good value though and even at that young age our guy loved it last year, in the pool a couple of times a day, go to beach etc.
You can shotput them into the lake from the balcony of your room in Aghadoe Choco. Yeah Aghadoe is smashing. Iâd go back there before Iâd go back to the Europa.

He wonât like this
- An offset project in India that cleared plots of traditional tribal farmlands to build windmills for green electric power, upending some farmersâ livelihoods and â in the end â generating significantly less power than expected.
- A tree-planting project in Panama that promises profits for logging as well as calling itself a certified offset program when it is not. Few trees have even been planted.
- Scams in Australia that have prompted the alarmed government to launch a crackdown.
- A California promoter who launched a ship to spread iron dust in the South Pacific to grow carbon-sucking algae, a plan that the Environmental Protection Agency said would amount to illegal dumping at sea.
- An Israeli charity that is selling offsets that are supposed to create brand-new projects, for tree plantings it has been doing for 60 year
We considered taking a 3 & 5 year old to France this summer but baulked at the prospect. Ended up booking a week in Longford instead.

Centre parks?
Do you have other kids Johnny? Big undertaking with just a baby. The campsites have v little air con as well
No this is the first. Yeah it pretty much rains non stop 1 week in every 4 in France during the summer. They say you have to go south of the Loire river to get the finer weather. We wouldnât be looking to go much farther than Carnac or somewhere else in Brittany but maybe these type of holidays are more for kids from 6 to 16. But there is a lot of appeal in having swimming pools, tracks, BBQ facilities, bar etc at your disposal. The mobile homes are well kitted out too but maybe we can be more adventurous.
2 + would love them sites. Nothing for a baby there tbh
