Leaving Cert holidays 2012!

Murphdog94

Me and 6 or 7 of my mates are heading off on our 6th Year Holiday around July, only trouble is we've no idea where!
All the usuals have been suggested (Magaluf/Ayia Napa/ santa Posna) even malaga. Basically all we want is somewhere with a bitta sun, beach, cheap drink, clubs and not overrun with English Gobshi.tes
If you've any ideas/past experiences let us know and feel free to tell us where you're going.

Ayia Napa with sun and sand on Nissi Beach. Book an apt with, luxury lets cyprus, fantastic value. Remember though that temperatures in July can be 40 c +, that is hot, very hot.

Was meant to be going to Canada but that's being left til 2013. Probably some cheapo sun holiday with non LC friends now though, yeooooow

Keano!

Went to Magaluf last summer with 9 other lads. Easily the best summer of my life. Went there for 2 weeks, hotel was literally on the strip. Great atmosphere. Only thing we messed up was pre-drinking for the night out on the first night. Don't start till 11 or 11.30.

We were a right state strolling through a virtually quiet strip at 12 that night booming out our chants! Still great banter. Obviously go to BCM and the biggest ever foam party. Insane doesn't do it justice.. and FREE drink all night?? Incredible it was.

Anyway, we went to that Bennicassim festival in Spain after and then somehow managed to make it home. I didn't enjoy that though as much as I probably would have done if I'd not been to Maga though... know what I mean? Still, incredible holiday.

Any to those wondering was it easy for lads to pull.... yes, very.
Anyone wondering about not being 18 and not getting into clubs/getting drink... forget about it, they couldn't give a rats arse...

Bear in mind that vodka in plastic bottles appeared to be watered down and re-sealed, so just beware if you're getting it. San Miguel (national beer) is worse than Dutch Gold... stay away from it.

Not sure if there's much else I can add to that really... if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask. I know when I was in 6th year I just had tonnes for people here about random crap.


As for this summer.... simply gotta be inter-railing through europe (ensuring to stop in Ukraine/Poland to cheer on the boys in green!) for me and my mates. Probably won't go on another Maga-like holiday (booze-up 24/7) for another year or two. Liver still recovering!



Enjoy it lads.... you'll literally NEVER forget it!

Meglamonia

Probably going to Santa Ponsa!Where's everyone else going?Past experiences also appreciated

It's a right balls that there's no oxygen this year! Foreign holiday would be very expensive especially since I'll have college next year, would love to go though!
Anybody know of any cheap deals??

A few of the lads were talking of going to ''TomorrowLand'' (look it up on youtube for yourself). Not me though, I'll be happy as Larry to tear into a bit of silage! My favourite 3 months of the year and the Leaving is taking up the busiest month of them all bálls.

we were wondering about going to a different county in ireland and rent a house. i know a group of 20 people who went to kerry last year rented 2 houses €50 per person for a week with ensuite bedrooms and all and basically just had a week long house party

Hey guys

I was wondering if anyone is using a tour operator or any company to organise it all? Don't know how to go about organising it for a big group or should we do it ourselves?

Cheers!

Rasberryjam

We're all booking our flights and accommodation online as well as a bus ticket to get us from the airport to our holiday.

travelrepublic.ie is a good site for accom, and of course ryanair.com for your flights!

If you want any specific help send me a PM!
