I need your help please!!!!!

My goal is:

I gave my friend the worst night out of their lives a couple of weeks ago(i am too embarassed to say what i did...but it was bad). Theres nothing i can do to make it up to her, but what i have promised to do is to give her the best night out of her life ever!!!!!!!

My Problem:

She has had some pretty fun nights in her time!! We are both 20 and what i did to her was pretty bad(The worst night out for her ever), so it is going to be tough giving her the best night out ever + i am not inititative and clueless as to what i could do!!!!!

Your Challenge:

Is to help me with info. in planning the best night out of her life ever. It is going to have to be something crazy and extreme to make this so, and i think somewhere abroad for the night is the way to go. My budget is £300 for us both + I have £80 worth of tesco vouchers that i could use for a hotel(I know that you can use tesco vouchers for some hilton hotels in europe, what cities im not sure!). Our local airports is glasgow/Prestwick which does ryanair flight to cities in europe but i am clueless and need your help please guys. I dont know if the airports that ryanair flys to from here are anywhere near the cities they say they are. But more importantly i dont know if these cities are fun and can give her the best night out of her life ever(Like fun crazy things: dinner, partying it up, Discos, dancing...anything and everything really!!).

...So i have £300(+ & i could use £80 in tesco vouchers for use in some european city hilton hotels) budget for us both for a minimum of 1 night, and our local airports are glasgow and prestwick(easyjet from glasgows a poss), and we are young: & it has to be THE BEST NIGHT OUT in her life ever.....so any advice and ideas on anywhere/what to do/where to stay/how to do it etc etc - it would be much much apreicated. I dont know much about european cities and how to show someone the best night out of their life ever. If i use anybodys ideas ill get in touch with them and if they are happy to send me their address i would be more than happy to send them a bottle of champagne for their time in helping me, and i would maybe even consider posting what i did to her to give her the WORST night out of her life ever.



.....Thanks in advance, more than ever i really need your help.

Cheers

    Hi, London is a great city...a definet option ,however she is very familiar with it, it could give her a great night out but maybe a new place would be the best for the BEST night out. Then again, sticking to what we know could be an option. Great info......keep it coming. I also plan on making it a surprise. i.e. she find out where at the irport...and doesnt know what we are doing at the place till we get there!!!

    Thanks United Flyer

    ...keep it coming y'all

    Dinner, clubs, nice hotel...these things are in my plan! However maybe not prague...not been, but i was in Budapest this year...it was cold, and i think there would be better cities + i have a feeling that i couldnt use my tesco vouchers for a hilton hotel there. This is what im looking for though. Suggestions of cities, and what to there...then maybe more specific details like what places to go to and what to do in that city. Also Prague is more expensive to fly to as ryanair and easyjet dont fly to prague from glasgow or prestwick.

    Thanks saveapenny :D

    How about a trip on the ferry,They do themed party nights which are really great and very cheap you could have a mini weekend instead of one night,They usually include meals entertainment and sleeping cabin,When they dock you could get off and paint the town red where ever you are.
    Or a hot balloon ride with champagne.

    This sounds intersting witty999....can you or anyone give me more details and ideas about this good idea???? I know that easycruise can do short cruises and has a young crowd on-board. A weekend is a plan, but its a night i ow her. My budget is £300 + i ahve £80 in tesco vouchers that i could turn into deals for select european cities hilton hotels. I am also not sure if ryanair/easyjet or another cheap airline fly from glasgow to destinations where i can hop on or off a cruise like the easycruise thing.


    Thanks Witty...feel free to expand on this anyone and keep the great ideas coming.

    I have just looked into what hotels i can use my tesco vouchers for stays at, they are as follows:

    *Selected hotels in Europe: Hilton Paris, Hilton Brussels, Hilton Barcelona, Hilton Milan, Hilton Amsterdam, Hilton Luxemburg, Hilton Berlin, Hilton Munich Park, Hilton Munich City, Hilton Istanbul, Hilton Dusseldorf.

    The fact that i can use tesco vouchers to stay here doesnt swing it for me, it just means i will have more of a budget for other stuff. I have £80 in tesco vouchers so thats about £300 i think. I know nothing about these cities, and the hilton hotels here. Prestwick(ryanair) and glasgow(Easyjet) are my local airports so there is an inclination to go to some cities, but i am clueless.....please keep the ideas coming. This is so very important, like i said i need to give the BEST night out ever to make up for WORST, and i am clueless.


    Thanks again guys and please keep ideas, tips, value for money suggestions, etc coming.....its so appreciated and like i said ill reward the best idea with chapagne.

    What about Amsterdam? They do a cheap ferry there and you spend all day in the city and return on the evening. I think its about 89.00 each... its in Cresta. Otherwise there are plenty of cheap flights and hotels to stay in using Tesco Club card.
    Or Dublin, a weekend round the temple bar area....memories.....
    But if ever I stray from the path I follow
    Take me down to the English Channel
    Throw me in where the water is shallow And then drag me on back to shore!
    'Cos love is free and life is cheap As long as I've got me a place to sleep
    Clothes on my back and some food to eat I can't ask for anything more

    Great ideas you two. I have just been looking into Barcelona & Paris as they have hilton hotels and ryanair fly there. I have ruled out Milan because bergammo seems far from the centre and the hilton there looks shabby! But am i right? ...is it a fun city? Is the milan hilton ok? & is bergammo(ryanairs's milan :D) Close to milan??? Paris sounds like a plan....how far is dinsey paris from paris. Will we like it, she is a bit of a kid at heart but if its all kids rides than maybe not. She loves disneyland, CA...if that helps. Does Paris have a fun night life....whens a good month to go....i think its an option :D

    Then again tell me more about amsterdam/barcelona...anyone stayed at the hiltons here????????
