    Does it?! I had a raging hangover, it was Ryan Air and it felt like 4 hours!

But from what I remember it was an interesting place, great architecture - steeped in history, friendly locals and cheap like a bird. 4 hour flight however so a bit far for a weekend. I'm off to Vienna in may for a weekend which is closer and supposed to be a great weekend break. Another option is a ski resort. I've just been to Chamonix in france and although u can still ski it was 26 degress in the town, so shorts/t-shirt weather. Plenty of non ski things to do such as hiking, mountain biking, loads of restaurants & bars, easy to get to - 1 hr from Geneva and Geneva is 1.15 from Gatwick, Easyjet fly there. You don't really want to be doing 3hr+ flight time, with the check in & travel to airport u don't end up with much time over a weekend. And breathe.

    For somewhere different why not try Carcassonne in France? Superb medieval walled city with no shortage of nice places to eat and stay. Ryanair fly there from Stansted.

    She had her 60th birthday and retired from work, and the very next day went to Barca...heart attack on the 2nd day of her holiday and was in intensive care for a week

    It puts things into perspective.

    Cheers for asking x x x

    Dublin is dull unless you want to be on the piss (which to be fair you can do at home).
    Most Eastern European cities are spoilt by the stag trade. Having said that, I've done Kracow and Budapest and they are both pretty good for a romantic weekend (not too romantic in a girly poofter sort of way mind).

    I want to do Barcelona so maybe S-A is right..!
