The more I look at it the less likely I will be able to come home for Christmas...
While this is initially rather distressing I am deciding to put this in a happier light: I get to spend Christmas abroad, possibly with some new friends, discovering Ireland or possibly some other countries to boot!
We found out it is not possible to use frequent flyer points to get a round-trip ticket for me during the holidays, so I will either be paying for one pull-price and out-of-pocket or simply staying there... So to cover my bases, besides being always on the hunt for cheap round-trip tickets home during the holidays, I am asking what folks recommend to do while on holiday overseas. With the money I would save by not buying an airline ticket I could buy a bus-pass or a train-pass or perhaps even take a ferry to someplace new. What sights should I make a point to go see? What new experiences should I try? If not staying in Cork or Ireland where should I go?
While it would be absolutely wonderful to come home for the holidays and see everyone again, if that is not possible then I intend to make the best of it. Any suggestions are appreciated and encouraged!
go raibh maith agat! [thanks!]
