Christmas shopping in Belfast

December 5th, 2006

We’ve been planning on going over to Belfast for my Dad’s 80th birthday for a while now so no more FP’s next week as that’s where we’ll be.

As Ryanair consider anyone over 2 years old as an adult, we’ve managed to amass a potential 100kg luggage allowance between the four of us. Not that we could actually carry quite that much! However, what we’ve been doing over the last few weeks is to use my parents house as a delivery point for Amazon and Ebay purchases to save on postage so it must be something like Santa’s grotto by now!

Wendy’s planning on taking over an empty suitcase to bring at least some of that stuff back but that’s not even counting the stuff we’ll probably pick up whilst we’re there.

We’re still looking for books & magazines for the little guys, so if you’ve anything suitable around the 2 to 6 age range, let me know as we should be able to pick it up while we’re there. Wendy wouldn’t say no to girly magazines either…. Heat, Cosmo, Hello, etc.

    A word of warning - Ryanair won’t let you spread the allowances between family members. Also try and check-in online as it is cheaper.

    Hope this helps and have a good trip.
