So,, you have the grand total of 2 full days in Paris?

And a two week trip where you have listed at least 8 stops... wow, busy ..

Are you renting a van??

You are a family of 7,, do you mean 2 adults and 5 children? What can you afford to pay for a room, or in this case, two rooms at least.. ??

You have left booking of rooms really late, I am surprised how many people do these impulsive trips to Europe,, normally not too hard to work with if you have a generous budget and are only 2 people, but I think you may find your group size with give you some problems..

Book hotel rooms now( book them yesterday really).

Buy at least one or two good guide books.

Refine trip into more managable itinerary..

Good luck.

I am hyperventilating after reading your itinerary. You have 10 days on the ground, to which you have devoted one full day and 2 half-days to Paris, 2 full days Northern France, 2 days to London and 4 days in Ireland. You will be travelling with a family of 7 in about 6 weeks and you need lodging, transportation & "any and all help". I refuse to believe this is a serious post.

Thanks..yes, I know I am totally behind on my planning.
I am looking at lodging right now, yes we plan on renting a van in Ireland..public transit in Paris and London.
I am sure it will work out in time:-)

Believe it or not it is a real post!
I have not had a minute to make arrangements, that's why I posted..hoping not to reinvent the wheel.
Someone out there has done a trip like this??

You might want to just drop Paris off there an spend more time in London/Ireland. Of course, that is, if you haven't already booked the flights.

We have already booked our flights.
They are non refundable.

Hi Mare,

For ease of scheduling accommodations and transportation arrangements what about the following:

*Rent and apartment and stay in Paris July 29-August 3.

*Fly from CDG (Paris) to Cork, Ireland on Air Lingus on August 3.

*Rent a van in Cork and travel to Kinsale, Kenmare, Dingle and Cliffs of Moher from August 3-10.

*August 11 spend the night in Ennis for return flight from Shannon.

The logistics of scheduling the trip you've proposed are very difficult!
