Amsterdam Or Prague

 

[Goofyish]

First thing to check is the destinations covered by you local airport

I've heard that Prague, Budapest and Vienna are all very nice

 

[Booknut]

Lisbon is absolutely gorgeous, its wonderful for a city break, I would definitely recommend going there!

 

[florida sun]

Prague is fabulous for a weekend break and very cheap as well, I also love Barcelona and Palma

 

[CustardTart]

Another vote for Lisbon here...

Athens! A few evenings dining in the Plaka with all the lovely Greek food and all the wonderful sights to see, including the Olympic Stadia and the Parthenon.

Or Rome - speaks for itself.

 

[Minniespal]

Milan, Florence, Prague and Rome.

 

[Cyrano]

A vote for Barcelona or Prague here

i went to Paris for my 40th & loved it. Iknow you said you'd been but I'd been twice previously & still had a great time.

We're going to Las Vegas next month for our silver wedding & staying just 5 nights. I can't wait

My dad went to Prague last year and had a great time. Wouldnt go on the weekend tho as there are loads of stag/hen parties.

Las Vegas is a good idea.

Hello,
As it is a special 40th celebration (Join the club ), how about somewhere special, ie Boston, with some very good shopping,eating, hotels etc.
Walk the freedom trail and visit many historical landmarks such as Bunker Hill, or a trip out to Plymouth and view the Mayflower.

Where ever you decide have a brill time

 

[BRobson]

Do you like the Grand Prix. There must be a couple of races in June to go to

 

[jns]

Thanks everyone for all the great ideas
but as you can see

There is a new Countdown in my name

We have decided to lenghten our holiday in Oct and Visit New York on the way back
So maybe a night or two away in a nice Hotel in Ireland for the big 40th sounds OK to me now
