Hols?

I'm trying to think of somewhere to go for a long weekend...with a bit of sun, culture, not too expensive. One of the upshots of cheaper travel is that it seems like we've all run out of places to go. I'd actually love to go to Italy but I've got to save somewhere for my summer hols. After an expensive trip to the States last year, it's got to be a cheaper Euro trip. So, on the shortlist for a long weekend are Copenhagen Nice Barcelona I've had to delete Paris from the list, I love it but I've done it to death on two trips...Amsterdam ditto done to death on a week's holiday. Mmmm.....went to Vienna last year, that was good. Why can't Sydney be located within a 2 hour flight..or failing that NYC?
