Le Chein is another really solid option if you don't mind driving to Denham Springs. I would put them above Sammy's and Lakeside and it's good for kids.

I seem to remember ours rattling from the level glass that was on the base. We popped it out and rattling stopped.
re: I Need Tips for Traveling with an Infant

For a stroller, buy a Mountain Buggy Nano. It folds up to the size of a briefcase, it's light, and it has some capacity for storing diaper/wipes/shopping bags. We have 4 kids and travel a decent amount. Just got back from London & Ireland with it. It was one of the better child investments for us. If we're doing ride share/taxi, we don't use a car seat, just hold the baby in our lap, to each their own in this regard. If we're renting a vehicle, we rent a car seat with the vehicle.
re: Dublin and London
Posted by Tigers13 on 1/15/25 at 12:17 pm
In Dublin, I would rent a car for a day and drive up to the Giant's Causeway, Carrik-a-Rede, and the Titanic Museum. It'll be a full day but well worth it. If you wanted to stay in N. Ireland for a night, get a room at the Bushmills Inn. I've done both, and would rate this well ahead of the Cliffs of Moher. The cliffs on Giant's Causeway are more impressive, scenic, and accessible.
In Dublin, Book of Kells, Temple Bar, Guiness Store.

For backpacks, checkout Gregory Boarder Traveler 30......also comes in a 40. Best travel pack I've seen with a split case design and an odor proof compartment for dirty clothes/shoes........or for the OP butt plugs. :lol:

The crazy thing, despite reputation, all of my worst flight experiences have been with Delta and their customer service has never impressed me (even relative to other airlines). Right now, I'd say United is doing it better than anyone else.....but I wouldn't have said that 5 years ago.

I can't remember exactly what they were but I know I've seen them in Cleggs. I'm thinking this is them but not 100% sure.

We have Tumis. I'm annoyed that I have to send them to Tumi to replace a zipper. I sent two large bags this year for zipper repair and it cost $130 just to get them to Tumi. If there's a better way to do it, I'd love to hear about it - Thx

I had the same issue and I replaced them with the Blight Resistant Boxwoods. They definitely cost more but I haven't lost one yet.

The Titanic Museum is probably the best museum I have ever been to. Incredibly comprehensive and interesting.
I also suggest taking a black cab tour to learn The Troubles in Belfast.
Thanks, I'm leaning towards skipping the Cliffs of Moher. That'll give us plenty of time in Belfast and Dingle with only one long travel day. Will also give us 1 full day in Dublin before flying home.
Curious if you've traveled Southern Ireland and if so, how would you rank N. Ireland in comparison. Thx

That's along the lines of what everyone else has said. There may be a way for us to stay a night in Limerick or some other place along the way of Dingle ->Belfast and make a quick stop at the Cliffs. Just not sure if it's worth it. Would probably cost us a 1/2 day in Dingle and 4 extra hours in the car.

Belfast was my favorite part of our Ireland trip. The architecture of the city is beautiful. All those things you mentioned are great, plus the rope bridge is nearby GC and Dunluce. And a visit to Bushmill's is cool if you like whisky. Hell, even if you don't. It's a 400+ year old distillery.
Thanks, that's all part of the plan.....which in doing so would cut out Dingle or Cliff's of Moher. I've heard from a few people that have done S Ireland that Dingle was their favorite and Cliffs were overrated.
Ireland Itinerary
Posted by Tigers13 on 9/24/24 at 1:44 pm
We'll be in Ireland for 7 days in January and are having trouble deciding what to do vs what to skip. Ideally, I'd like to do the following:
Belfast - 2 days - Titanic Museum, Giant's Causeway, Dunluce Castle
Doolin - 2 days - Cliffs of Moher
Dingle - 2 days
Dublin - 2 days
We have to fly into and out of Dublin. Logistically, it makes sense to skip Belfast but that area interests but getting from Belfast to Doolin is a hike. Trying to get perspective if it's worth it or if we should just stick to mid/south Ireland. For anyone that's travelled Ireland, I'd be interested to know how you rank my itinerary. You can also let me know if I'm totally missing the mark. Appreciate any and all advice!!

then you could simply take your already scheduled flight to DUB and then fly right back to LON
I think that’s our only option. It’s frustrating because I’m willing to give those tickets back to them with no refund but b/c of their lack of ability to make a decision that benefits both them and their customer, we’d have to go through that racket…..with 4 children.

Yea, I’m thinking I probably could but with 4 kids, we’d like to have our lodging squared away before we leave. Leaving on NYE.

This is in place to stop "skip lag"
That may be the intent, but we booked as a multi-city trip. We're staying a night in London. It's not part of a connection.

What you could do is buy a MSY-LHR-MSY round trip then a LCY/STN/LHR-DUB round trip on Ryan Air separately.
The MSY-LHR is what doubled in price.
Flight Conundrum
Posted by Tigers13 on 9/13/24 at 12:47 pm
Seeing if anyone has a solution. We caught a good deal on a fare and booked the following multi-city flight:
MSY->LON
LON->DUB
DUB->MSY
We decided we want to stay an extra night in London but in order to reschedule that middle leg of the flight, British Airways has to rebook the whole trip and the prices on the longer legs (not the flight I want to reschedule) have doubled since I purchased. I offered to give them back their LON->DUB (we have 6 tickets) fares and repurchase that portion separate. Basically, giving them back 6 tickets that they can resell and then buying 6 more from them. They couldn't do that and said that if I skipped my middle leg of the flight, then my return flight would be cancelled. If anyone has any ideas to get around the red tape, it would be greatly appreciated.
