Girlsaloud...cant see them playing out of England Ill rule that out. Tell me more about your Barcelona weekend. What did you do...hows your hotel. We are young, up for doing crazy things. Like i said, we could probs stay at the barcelona hilton thanks to the mothers tesco vouchers but it looks kind of "old folk hotel"

But then again i would have more of my budget for other things... i have to play it right. The paris hilton seems ago, but again it looks like a boring hotel but it might not matter. Anybody ever stayed in the trafalgur hilton..now thats a fun/cool hotel!
..........please keep the ideas coming

Amsterdam would be lovely at this time of year look at tripadviser.com to see reviews of the Hilton, good food and lots to do with lovely parks and markets + the red light district if thats your cup of tea. I think Amsterdam is cheaper than Paris as well. Paris Disneyland is great, alot of the hotels just outside are much cheaper to stay in and you could catch the eurostar direct to the parks and if your budget allows spent a day in Paris and catch the eurostar back to England from the Gare Nord. I think the eurostar costs about 58 pound return but with tesco club cards you can do it for 20 return.

Rather than me try and guess what you would like can I direct you to the website that I use when I am nostril deep in trouble - Lastminute.com - going out section.

P&O do a minicruise to Amsterdam and I think you can extend your stay so would be able to have your night at the Hilton there.
I put in a date for May and it came up with £129 for two

barcelona was amazing we arrived on the friday night and went out for dinner at la rambles then walked the length of it there are street entertainers , then the saturday was really good, i love animals so we visited the zoo and then we went to barcelona football club as my boyfriend loves them. the metro is really easy and quite cheap to use. the nightlife is good in the main city it has a hard rock cafe and lots of good restaurants. its not crazy crazy but i had such a good weekend.

as far as paris goes my best friend went there recently and loved it disneyland has big rides not just kiddie ones because she is a thrill seeker and loved it .

your right about the girls aloud thing though lol

I'd go for Amsterdam as well, I just fell in love with the place when I was there. I also got totally lost as well as the streets look the same ie funny but lovely looking houses and waterways :rolleyes:

Can't remember what the hotel was I stayed in but it was cheap, ie under £300 for 4 nights including flights, I booked through City Breaks or something like that. But that was before I'd got internet access.

If you do go there check out the Van Gogh Museum and Anne Franks house also the Cat Museum (a word of warning about this Museum - there are live cats that live here and it smells of cats p But apart from the smell it's quite good!)

We stayed at the Prague Hilton recently and it was great. They were doing some very good deals on some of the hotel booking websites and we got a double room at just over £25 pppn. That included breakfast, and was about a quarter of the rack rate.

Great ideas, keep them coming. Im open to anything, but Barcelona and Paris are sticking out right now, so details on disneyland distances, things to do, places to see, reviews of the paris hilton, reviews of the barcelona hilton, and what to do in Barcelona would be great. But any other ideas are great. I have been to amsterdam before, it is fun but we would have to travel very south for the nearest ferry there. But im not ruling out any other new ideas.....please keep them coming, i really appreciate it and can definetly see my using somebody on this boards ideas.

Thanks again

Have you looked at the activity breaks on the ryanair website, some good deals on there
