Making Ryanair Pay

There's nothing quite like the satisfaction of travelling Ryanair and paying nothing more than the cover price. Oh that and the exhorbitant cost of credit card fees with Ryanair.

So I travelled to France this weekend to see the boy! It was a pretty expensive ryanair flight with 169 return! However they were the only airline to go to Carcassone so off I went.

Seeing my boy is paramount! Even to the ends that I must travel Ryanair!

So this time I decided I was not going to either check in or to that end check in a bag! So it was less than 10 kilos hand luggage. I adore the way that checking at the airport is an expensive extra with Ryanair!

Tough when you are trying to pack jumpers for a chilly boy! Aswell as clothes in order to look fabulous all weekend. And of course a months worth of sexy lingerie!

Also he had a special request of Chef Brown Sauce! Poor baby can't get it ( the sauce) in france and loves an old ham and brown sauce sandwich! I was unable to complete my mission cos Brown sauce is a gel and gels more than 100ml are not permitted in hand luggage!


Oh well I'm off now to post him a care package ( aka a shoe box with Chef Brown Sauce inside!)
We did have a great weekend by the way! We climbed a castle that looked like disneyland!

Highly recommend Dublin to Carcassone. The airport is five minutes from the town centre!
A one room airport! Only two hours flight time to Dublin.

Recessionary tactics!

So the recession has hit hard and of course just when I have a wedding to afford and plan! Oh well just as well I'm not planning to do the deed until late 2011. There will be plenty of time to save money on stuff!

Looked at some venues over the weekend. Including Thomond Park, that place certainly packs some whack with the value. You can fit 26,000 into the venue. That's some cost per person!
And just think of the photo opportunitys as after the ceremony, the groom could drop kick a goal and the score board could light up : Score!!!!.

Probably not for me and the fiance! But a girl could dream!
