Lads holiday suggestions

Me and a mate of mine are looking at going away somewhere for a week or two. I'm 32 in September, he's 40, both single.

Any suggestions? Wouldn't mind a combination of boozing/womanising at a bar/pool etc, but fancy doing something touristy as well.

First question budget? Second prepared to do a long haul flight ?

Hong kong is a good laugh , then maybe fly to http://www.gili-paradise.com/features/gili-photo-gallery/on-land/

Superb place, all depends on budget of course. Failing that week in Germany for OKtoberfest if you can go later then on to Lithuania/Latvia/Estonia.

Something different for you to think about. Gilli Air is superb if you like diving and semi party atmosphere
 
i'd spec some holidays that would be just right for the OP and his 'friend'
but i dont want that on my google search history :eek:
 
I second this idea. Leave the nice places for those of us who want to enjoy a quiet peaceful holiday without having to listen to drunk people f'ing and blinding at all hours of the day and night...

You dont want to come and stay at my house with my scummer neighbours then... :(

As to the OP I would say somewhere sunny but where older people generally are with decent bars/pool/etc.. Maybe Los Cristianos in Tenerife(Although close enough for scummers to go for quiet in the day and then they can walk to playa de las americas at night so they will probably be about in the day) Orlando has some great pubs and bars with other attractions for older generation with plenty to eat on international drive and being older you can play golf in the day time ;) Or what about somewhere like Helsinki? I found that pretty decent for bars and clubs, nice and clean as well but not a great deal else to do. Or the other option is.. VEGAS BABY And get plenty of bills for the strip joints. ;) Oh and get on the shooting ranges to make you feel like REAL MEN with GUNS not like a pair of Brokeback Mountain fans :D.. BTW No offence but 32/40 are not LADS. I should know... :p
 
Chris i hope you don't mind be posting a few pics up, just in case you or someone else is interested doing what i mentioned.

Walking through the Lines held by the 101st Airborne during the Battle of the Bulge.
Was plenty of "foxholes" still visible and trees still damaged from 88 fire.

heading up into the mountains in Vaduz, Liechtenstein, we didn't know at the time but it wasn't fog we were driving through for the best part of 2 hours..but the clouds.

Eventually we broke though to be greeted to truly, the most beautiful sight i've ever seen.

Still we climbed higher, untill the road finally stopped.

Finally a funny one, before leaving the uk we all bought some fine tweed jackets and fake tashes.. when we got to Vaduz, we donned them before looking for a pub.

Haven't really thought about what to spend. Couple of grand I guess, can spend more if needed.

That will cover Ibiza easily

My trip - flight £150, 3* half board hotel, £350, spending £1k.

If you really hammer through drinks, do VIP nights etc. then you could easily do in many thousands but for most £1k is easily enough to do 5 or 6 big club nights plus drinks before
