I love seeing new places, experiencing different things, learning new languages. All that jazz.

I am constantly checking out the Ryanair website, to see what new deals they have, and to see where I could fly to, for a day, a weekend, or a week, for as little as possible.

I usually don’t care where I end up, or usually when I fly, so it was “researching” some flights that I came across this:

Fly from Dublin to Frankfurt-Hahn on Firday evening, and return on Sunday evening. Perfect timing, really. No need for me to miss classes, and no need for anyone else who wanted to come along to have to take time off work.

And the cost of these magical flights?

€10 each way, including those horrible taxes and charges. Add in another €10 for booking the flights using a credit card, and you get a weekend in Germany for €30.

So, that’s what I did.

My friend Amy and I flew out to Frankfurt-Hahn, not to be confused with the actual Frankfurt International Airport, on Friday evening last. We had a lovely weekend, and flew back on Sunday evening.

I will post again – make a mini-series out of it, if you will – about what we did over there, but there is the basics of it.

For all their faults, you can’t beat Ryanair for flights that cheap.

My friend Amy and I are going to spend the weekend in Trier, in Germany, and the plan is to take a day trip to Luxembourg.

I mean, how many people can say they deliberately visited Luxembourg?

My friend commented, on hearing this, that there may be a reason for people not visiting the place!

I’m sure it will be lovely. I will let you all know when I get back!
