Me and my partner have just got back from Amsterdam and i really enjoyed it.

Try looking on www.flybe.com who fly there from Southampton. It might also give you some other options on where to go

Yep Amsterdam is excellent though can get pricey if you live it up

My tip is to forget the hotels which are hugely expensive (even the crap ones) and book an apartment. Works out a lot cheaper, you have total privacy and freedom to do what you want and you can usually get one baing in the middle of activities.

When I went last year I had an apartment across the road from Dam Square

How about a drive to Dover for the ferry, or to Folkestone for the Shuttle, then 25 minutes to:

http://www.chateautilques.com/uk/evenements.php

Rooms are lovely, food is INCREDIBLE!!! Oh and if you book online, you can have wine, flowers etc waiting in the room for the wife when you arrive

Pick up wine/beer/etc at Auchan at Boulogne the next day, then home again.

(Or do Auchan on the way over if your second day is a sunday).

You might also like:

Rooms not as nice, food very good, a bit cheaper, and about 20 minutes further than Chateau Tilques.

Alcazar

BTW: were it me, I'd get her to pack, telling her you were off on a "longer" booze cruise, and "might" need decent clothes IF you can find somewhere nice to eat...........
