This is 100% exactly what it is for. There are big zip line things and big pool slides that dads could do, but the goal of this stage of life is mainly "get kids tired".

I was worried that they would see some of the cool stuff we hadn't booked and give out about not getting a go. Which they did a bit, but you can navigate that by shouting at them. It is a pretty mad set up, how rigid everything is. We'll go back once more I think, then it's on to proper Irish holidays of walking about random towns.

We went at Christmas and enjoyed it (with a 1, 4, and 6 year old at the time) but the booking everything (even the pool) was painful. It’s very British in that respect, they need to ease up on that.

Pool is now free time. We got lucky with 2 days of it not being too busy, 3rd day was packed and no fun.

Was pretty annoyed when we got turned away from Hucks and Sports Bar despite them looking empty, but they can't have had full staff. Thought of it as self catering from there and survived.

Ordinarily I'm all about the holiday itinerary, but having to book when you are eating in advance is psychotic stuff.

Has anyone been to Georgia and/or Armenia? I'm thinking of going in the spring. I already saw Armenia from across a river but maybe it's worth a closer look

I had a stop over in Atlanta 30 years ago on the way to Florida.

hi, no, but a childhood friend moved to Georgia. He was a chef and worked for a famous hotel chain and ended up in Tblisi.

Can he get me a good deal on a hotel? With nice meals thrown in. Mates rates, $0. I'm a bit tight on cash

I haven't seen him in 30 years but if I bump into him I'll ask him for you
