Just saw an ad for a programme on RTE at 9.30 tonight

The Way We Were

Its a series about how Ireland used to be and tonight looks at holidays

So if you ever went to Butlins or can remember when you could smoke on a plane going to Spain it'll bring back memories

Belfast

I remember spending almost an hour in the cockpit of an Aer Lingus plane with my kids on the way to Florida in 2000.

Yes I was also one of those dads that asked could my kids see the cockpit ....when I was more delighted than them

Just finished and old enough to remember most of it

So many happy memories on the dart going to Bray

Butlins where I won an all Ireland ballroom dancing championship at the age of 12

Going on a 747 to the Gran Canaries

Brilliant programme

It was in the 80's in fairness

It would stop in Gran Canaria and 80% of the plane would get off and then refill with people going home

Take off to Tenerife wher the other 20% would get off and refill again with people going home

It was like a bus a 747 packed with Irish people singing,drinking and smoking

Not forgetting the round of applause when we landed

Its a wonder there wasn't a collection getting off for the crew
