Cheap weekend breaks make us happy
The fine people at Thomas Cook are reminding us that our May Day bank holiday is coming up, and they have offers so tempting it’s almost criminal: Flight and Hotel breaks starting from £129 only at thomascook.com
They are offering Paris packages as low as £169 per person! That’s for 2 nights and leaving from Manchester, but leaving from London is only a bit more expensive. The way the euro has gone up against the pound this price break will come in handy, but if you are on a tighter budget you might consider the Dublin break for prices starting at £132 per person.
I’ve not yet been to Dublin, but everyone says it’s great. People go on and on about how the Guinness is better there, but I don’t think I’ll ever like the stuff no matter where it comes from. Not everyone knows that it’s actually lower in alcohol than proper lagers, so I don’t quite understand the appeal. I’ve heard they sell lager in Dublin as well, so don’t let the Guinness thing be the deal breaker if you really want a cheap break this May.
