✈️ Planning a Summer Getaway? Here’s How to Make It Happen—Stress Free
Whether you’re dreaming of sun-drenched beaches, a city break with culture and coffee, or a fun-filled staycation closer to home, a summer holiday is something we all look forward to.
But let’s face it—between booking flights, paying deposits, and planning spending money, the cost can creep up fast. That’s where we come in.
At Kilrush Credit Union, we’re here to help you turn your holiday plans into reality, with local support and flexible options you can trust.
🧳 Step 1: Decide What Kind of Holiday You Want
It might sound obvious, but defining the type of holiday you’re after can help you plan smarter.
Are you after:
✅ Total relaxation on a beach?
✅ A road trip around Ireland or the UK?
✅ Family-friendly theme park fun?
✅ A solo adventure or cultural escape?
Knowing this will guide how much you need to budget and what’s realistic.
💶 Step 2: Set a Holiday Budget (That Actually Works)
Once you’ve chosen your destination or type of break, it’s time to price it up. Include:
Flights/travel
Accommodation
Food and drinks
Day trips or entertainment
Travel insurance
Spending money
It’s worth giving yourself a buffer—you want to enjoy your trip, not stress about every cent.
