Bank Holiday next weekend.... and is also my birthday next Friday... so decided to spend a night somewhere new....

Have told myself I will visit Achill Island on the West Coast of Ireland for a few months now... so next weekend it is....

I am generally careful when shopping around for hotels etc... and they always nearly double their prices on Bank Holiday weekends.

However booked a bed in a hostel on Achill Island for €17 !! Great Value...

Will drive to Achill next Sunday morning... spend the day walking/ sightseeing, get changed, out for dinner, to the pub for the night and come what may, out for breakfast the next morning, 3/4 hours walking again, then home.

Can't wait. It is supposed to be great craic down there.

Also got €40 today for a CD player I had in my old car !!
