Oh my goodness, the boys look so alike. :yes:

Good pics. :thumbsup:

[foreverducky]

Not boring at all! I love these trips. So how long do you have to stay on the boat? I didn't realize you had a cabin, so at least a day I'm thinkin'. What types of amenities on there? I'm just full of questions.

[foreverducky]

Oh, and I forgot to say that I love the photos. I love looking at the coast and the houses nestled there.

[Tink]

Such sweet boys! I too didn't realize you had a cabin on the boat. I thought it was a quick jaunt over to Ireland!

Thank you so much for posting the photos. I love them!

[mumof2]

The crossing takes 4 hours, we book a cabin because the crossing can be so rough, Mum has to lie down whatever the crossing is like and i wouldn't go without one - remember the year we were all very very sea sick? that's why i'll never go without one!

there's a childrens soft play area, a childrens tv area, games arcade, bar, restaurant, shop, a club class lounge, several seating areas.....

here's the ship Irish Ferries - Ferries between Britain & Ireland - Car Ferry between France & Ireland (http://www.irishferries.com/ships-inishmore.asp)


more pics to follow!

[foreverducky]

Very cool! I completely understanding booking a cabin. I would probably too. I was just taking a look at the link and there are some with a double bed in them, they're huge!

mmmm, i suspect they are on one of the other ships that have longer crossings?

[Kate]

They are lovely photos - the boys look like they were already loving it!

Probably. But still, to have some place to rest is awesome, especially if you get sea sick. :yes:

[Tinkfan]

Oh Mairead, lovely, I've been waiting for this! The boys do look a lot alike! When did Matthew get so big? Not fair! More please! :yes: :hug2:

[uscwest]

Many moons ago I did the France to Rosslare trip, round trip. If I remember correctly we spent 10 days in Ireland, and drove a left hand drive car (good thing I had a co-pilot). We would LOVE to go back, especially since Donna has never been there.

[lozzy]

Lovely photos, you have 2 very good looking boys.

[Crazycatlady]

Those boys do look alike!

It reminds me of Cornwall very much:yes:

Beautiful photos! Thank you so much for sharing them with us. I love the old stone buildings. They just reek of history and ancient times...

I love the cloud-filled expanse of sky on the 4th from the end photo. And what an idyllic place for a school. :yes:
