Give us a figure to play with. I don't even start looking until I know the money I have for spending, travel and accomodation costs.
I got away to Italy for about £150 or so including all flight costs and accommodation for about 7-8 days. It might even have been less, I'd have to check.

Is that for everything, or is spending money something you'll find. I'm not exactly loaded, either, which is why i do my best to learn what I can get within a certain budget
It's always fun to do, even if I don't end up going.

Oh, one more thing, where are you travelling from ?
That depends entirely on you. I went to Ireland with my brother, we fell out and ended up going our own ways until we had to meet to get the plane home. It was good, I liked it. I met people I knew and sort-of knew on the way, so I wasn't 100% alone, but I was alone enough to know that I can handle it & enjoy myself.
Also, I guess being a bloke helps a bit as does, being a geek. I would be quite happy to chat to random people on the web and go to a place where there's someone I've managed to get on with for a while. I would plan for the eventually that they were a bit strange, or failed to make contact once I arrived, so that the holiday would still work regardless. I've sorta done that, in so far as I've been part of one online community for years and go to meets in different cities and stayed at the houses of people I chatted to on there. I've only had to pay for my accommodation a few times. Abroad would be a totally different sort of thing. I did that in Ireland but, although I hadn't met the person before, I knew people who'd met that person, so I knew they were safe.
In this case, I'll see what I can rustle up when I have a spare bit of time.

| either belfast or dublin, wat are u thinking of |
No idea. I'll follow my nose. Ryan air are doing some deals at the moment, where certain flights at certain times are really cheap. I believe they're even cutting out the tax to get the price down. I'll start there, and then let my mind wonder. You've said scotland, so I'll look there too. Have you been to Edinburgh ? Or are you thinking somewhere more out of town in Scotland ?

| have never been 2 scotland and have always wanted 2 go |
I've been to Edinburgh twice and it's really worth it... I've only been there for the week end. I'm sure Ryan Air has cheap flights to get there and for accomodation, http://www.visitscotland.com/ you can check this link or call the tourist board to book a B&B.
Now that i'm single i find hard to go on holidays as i hate travelling on my own... i wonder if we shouldn't open a post for single people who want to travel but can't find anyone to go with....

Flights with ryan air in July are looking quite cheap. I saw return cost for as little as £65 quid or so. That leaves you with around £185 for accommodation and spending. How long you can stay there would depend on how you want to split that between those two things. It'd also be a good idea to read about what's to see and do there, and have a rough plan of what you'd like to do.
If you go with them, though, don't forget that you don't really need travel insurance when travelling within the EU. Take a look for more info on that via the link below.
Also, if going with Ryan air it's worth taking note of their weight limit on hand luggage. If you can get all you need within that limit, then you will save a few quid by not requiring additional baggage space.

Oh, I was under the impression that taxes swallowed up much of what they charged when I had a look just now. Anyway, there you go, you have your flight, you just have to sort out where to say and how long for, unless you want other ideas to choose between ?
