3 nights £500-600 each + spends 4 blokes- Fri-Mon Where?
Discussion
Can the PH collective give me some ideas where 4 middle aged pissheads should go for 3 nights for that sort of budget? early June or the end of May is favourite but we are flexible. Some sort of general point to the weekend is needed and it can't be prossies, lapdancers or Golf.

Galway - Get a flight to Dublin (if you book early enough/at the right time could cost £20 for a return ticket) then 2hr train ride to Galway (around 32 euro return I think) and then stay at the Jury's Inn hotel www.jurys-galway-hotels.com/ located the bottom of Quay/Shoppe Street which is full of bars/restaurants/shops and over looking Galway Bay. There is a Go-kart track not far outside of Galway can be got there on bus or even taxi and loads of other things there.

Flights for about £100, hotel in St Peters Port, great beaches, chilled out atmousphere yet great nightlife.
Take a trip to Herm which is a beautiful place, cycle around the island, cheap car hire and petrol is about half the price of the UK (not that you use much, its only 9 x 3 miles).

Or any place ryan air etc fly to!
But be careful - Ryan air normally fly to a provincial airport up to 100kms from your actual destination. Frankfurt for example - take hours to get to frankfurt from Hahn which is where they actually go.
True, booked Mrs A and myself for a weekend in Verona, airport is actually Brescia which is nearly an hours coachtrip away

how about north wales for a driving holiday......
Yeah the £500 quid should cover the speeding fine and you can spend the night in the local nick.
It's part of a fantastically succesful campaign by the N Wales constablury to crack down on tourists coming into that part of Wales and spending money. I think the idea is that whilst not actually banning tourists from Wales, the idea is to make it such an unfriendly place to drive that no one will dare enter.
Stretch your horizons a bit - Lastminute.com has deals to New York 
Never done it myself for a weekend, but I would imagine you could get hammered on the plane on the way over, do New York (what about baseball or basketball on Saturday afternoon?), and spend the return flight in a coma.
eg £494.77 per person
