Help Me Choose.

[Jennifer1989]

I am needing a holiday with the kids so I am planning one with them at the start of August just before they go back to school but I cannot choose lol so can you help me choose:).

The choices I have at the minute are; Dublin, Majorca, Algarve; Canary Islands; Horse Racing in New Zealand and Disneyland Paris ;).

Feel free to suggest more ;).

For the kids, Disneyland Paris.

[Zacs-Master]

New Zealand or Dublin, eh?


Bit of a pong of dead salmon, anyone?

[KARL]

An awful lot depends on the ages of the children.

[spathiphyllum]

Disneyland Paris.

[Jennifer1989]

3, 5 and 8 Karl.

Would 'horse racing in New Zealand' be more for you than the children? Would they cope well with a flight of that length, would you have any qualms about them becoming bored, restless, cranky? I'd chose somewhere closer, say Majorca or the Algarve.

[elliemay1]

I assume you don't have a budget in mind if you're talking New Zealand!

[Rockrose]

Tell them you are taking them to Disneyland but then book Scarborough - that will teach them how to deal with disappointment.

[sherrardk]

Take them somewhere cold so they have to practice zipping up their coats.

[Jennifer1989]

Fair point neveracrossword, New Zealand off the list then :P.

[bednobs]

for your age of children I would chose somewhere close to home. I would not take a 3 year old on a 24 hr+ flight, plus how appreciative are younger children going to be for the opportunity to go to some of the suggested places? mine would prefer a uk beach holiday I reckon

[dannyk13]

Have you asked the kids where they would like to go?

[anneasquith]

LOL. Rr and sher .

[-SharonA-]

Algarve for a beach holiday.

[ummmm]

Dublin...lol...are you planning on the sesh? Ireland is lovely but I wouldn't take a kid to Dublin as a holiday.

[Sqad]

RockRose and Sherardk..........fabulous answers. LOL

[Mamyalynne]

Southport is ideal for children.

[retrocop]

Have you had this dilemma annually in the eight years you have had your eldest and is there not a father to ask for input and choice also?

[elliemay1]

I was also wondering if their father has any say in the matter or maybe you are a single parent

[ummmm]

In another post she mentioned the father hasn't been on the scene since the youngest was born.

In the tantrum thread she does mention 'us' and 'we'....so I don't know who she could be referring to.
