Enjoy a Spring Vacation at Disneyland

mickeyminnieMost of those living in colder regions are already sick and tired of the long and cold winter we had to deal with. And I can probably speak for all of us who don’t like cold, that a vacation – no matter how long or short – to a warmer place is exactly what’s in order.

Disneyland is definitely a good choice for a spring vacation, whether you want to surprise the kids with something nice or enjoy some days away with your sweetheart.

When it comes to planning your vacation at Disneyland, the first question to keep in mind is whether you want to choose one of the Disneyland Packages or plan everything on your own. Packages are a nice choice if you are not much of an independent planner and prefer to just enjoy the vacation. Some (most) packages include daily passes to the theme parks so you’ll be saving some money as well. And you can also find romantic packages which combine the fun of the theme parks with pampering your loved one.

If you don’t mind planning everything and you want to explore the city as well – some shopping would be nice right about now – , then booking the flight and accommodation separately is the best choice.

Cheap flights to LA are really not hard to find and if you are keeping your eyes peeled on the airline’s special offers you’ll be able to save even more money on your flight (although you’ll be forced to arrange your vacation around the offer, of course).

Cheap hotels in Los Angeles aren’t hard to find either, especially if you know where to look for them. Do remember that it’s a good idea to rent a car. You’ll have the freedom to choose a cheaper hotel located further from the sights and you can go to the theme parks whenever you feel like it. Plus, taking day trips and long rides is interesting as well.

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in Ireland

beerSt. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner, and there’s no better place to celebrate this most Irish of holidays than in Ireland. Eat corned beef and cabbage and drink Guinness to your heart’s content – all in the spirit of the holiday, of course.

If you’re planning on celebrating St. Patrick’s Day on the Emerald Isle, check out these Ryan Air flight deals. At these prices, you’ll likely spend more (maybe too much more) on Guinness than you will on your airfare. Dublin won’t be the only city partying on March 17. All over the country, from Galway to Cork, in cities and small towns, you’ll find Irish folk celebrating with a pint or two. If you’re headed someone other than Dublin, you can still find cheap flights to Cork , Galway and and Shannon.

Flights from Heathrow can sometimes be more expensive, so look for cheap flights from Stansted Airport as well. And don’t forget to check out our cheap hostels in Dublin. After all that beer, you’re going to need a place to crash for the night, even if you do happen to have some of the “luck of the Irish.”
