David086

Whether it be past or future trips could you post it? I'm just curious for ideas on trips for my TY.

When I was in TY we went on so many trips
A few off the top of my head are a mini driving course thing in Mondello Park, visiting Patrick Kavanagh's grave, went to Birr Outdoor Education Centre for a weekend, and we got to go to a good few places with Mini-Company competitions we were involved in.
Oh, also went to Croke Park, got a little tour.
We went loads more places, I'll try post them when I think of them

Ermm so far we've been:
The National Ploughing Championships
Local musicals/sketches
An overnight stay in Skibbereen Adventure place..
We went to see the Dunbrody and got lunch and shopping in Waterford
The National Aid centre and Shopping on O'Connel street Dublin
And trips we will be going on...
We're going to the Christmas Ice Skating thing in the RDS in a few weeks
And some thing in the local gaeltacht about media
Think thats all..

I think kilmainham gaol would be a really good trip! Been there and it was really good.

When I was in TY our trip to Glendalough was by far the best

Plenty of banter walking for 8hrs

Keano!

our actual trip away was to moscow - incredible 5 days that was! first time i'd ever drank vodka too! Never looked back at beer since

We went to an adventure centre in Connemara for two nights also did gaisce At that place. We went to mountjoy prison, national museum and four courts. But the highlight of the year was our trip to Paris. We did all the usual tours there and we went to disneyland BUT on our second day the volcano erupted so it took us two ferries and four buses Yo get home. Absolutely brilliant.

Same here about the volcano actually! Damn volcanoe....Grr. Still have bad feelings about it especially when our Geography teacher mentions it this year.

We were meant to go to London during the volcanoe time but couldn't go on the plane obviously so we rebooked for a later time in May which cost about 50 euro extra but we got there!:D Was an amazing weeked, we shopped so much and went to see Wicked!xD

I really wish that we were going somewhere outside Ireland. The furthest away that we're going away is Cavan/Monaghan.:(

Anyone else going to the Tutankhamun exhibit in the RDS?

New York!? How much did that set you back?

Leaving Cert 2013

€1500, but that includes everything and we have about a year to pay it out. We only spend 2 days in nyc but we spend the rest of the time with our host familys and attend an american high school in up state ny about 6 hours from nyc but the flights cost a lot we have to get two flights both ways.

We went to Delphi (loved it), cultural trip to Dublin(went literally everywhere incuding the Dublin castle, Kilmainham Gaol, the Dail, Gaiety to see Jack and the Beanstalk and the art gallery..also got shopping time) and also to Paris (greatest 4days of my life:] went to 3museums including de Louvre, Eiffel tower, Montmartre, boat trip on the Seine, Versailles and of course Disneyland) and we also did some other things like went to Upperchurch for our Gaisce walk and that kind of stuff

That's really cool:]

Killary Adventure Centre in Leenane in Galway for 4 days which was mad craic altogether! Hightlight of the year And then earlier in the year we spent 2 nights at the Gaeltacht in Rathcairn, that was good fun. Apart from that it was just a few small trips - Ice-skating, YSI (Croke Park + Galway), and then your usual religious retreats that bored the crap out of me.

Came back from Tanagh in Monaghan yesterday. All of us had the most amazing times of our lives, really wish we could have stayed longer that 3 days it was so good.

not_so_civil

We went a pile of places in ty
ice skating
Creggin country park
Comedy plays (psycho spagetti was the best)
Gartan outdoor adventure centre
And a few random day trips

Also don't know if it counts but we starteda link with a school in kenya in ty and at the beginning of 5th year we went out to visit for a month. (we would have went out during ty, but there were procedures we had to follow so we had to wait a bit)

We usually go skiing in Austria... but we're not going this year because of money problems!

We're going to Galway or Mayo instead. Should still be good craic as were staying for a couple of nights.

Usual trip to Nantes with the football team, as well as numerous day-trips to paintballing and the like.

Cakes.

We go to Carlingford as an induction, not as exciting when it's twenty minutes away

We go Bog Diving, Schools across borders, there's a loooooad of other places that I can't remember.

We do a big trip away at the end of the country too, don't know where, I think we vote on it or something :pac:

No not really. Its more just a mixture of bits of bog, water and a whole load-a muck

Our School went on the following trips last year

Ghana for culture learning and volunteering
Gaeltacht
Activity Weeks (Football, Film Making, Drama, and Music)

Thats it from the top of my head if I can remember correctly.

Barcelona. It wad a good couple of days. I look back on it with fondness. It's nice but also the dodgiest place I've ever been to. Everywhere you look there's a con artist or person with a fake limb or pickpocket. Saying that, it's a nice city for a couple of days.

Went back to school and got a big list of all the trips we're going on ^^

The big trip is to barcalona near the end of the year
And we're going on a 'team building' weekend, tours of the dail and four courts, a trip to tv3, we go on a watersports weekend where we do basically everything waterbased you can think of :pac:, we go ice skating , we stay for a week doing god knows what in galway, cork, clare and limerick, we go to london for a weekend, we go to carlingford, alton towers, and we go to a bunch of museums and exhibitions, and we do tours of DCU, Maynooth college, UCD, Trinity and a few other places XD I i think we go on a tour of mountjoy prison, and we go camping too

Cakes.

We're suppose to be going to Barcelona too, but it might be the 2nd and 3rd years going instead and we might be going NY because it's the school's 150th :P

Go TY 08/09!!

Hrmm, do you go to my school by any chance?

Our TY co ordinator said that, 'trips abroad are usually the price of a family holiday', so our school doesn't organisee one for us. However, if we can organise one ourselves, we can go on one. Does anyone have any suggestions, on where to go at a low-ish price?

You can't go wrong with a nice weekend in Sierra Leone: lovely people, great tourist attractions, brillo weather and all at a very affordable price.
