Destination Unknown Website?
Is there a website out there that I can find packages (Flight + Hotel) for known departure airports but unknown arrival? Frequently I find myself at the end of the week (thursday night) finding that I do not need to do weekend work for my clients but home is a 10 hour flight that I would usually depart from on thursday evening so I don't feel like wasting the weekend flying home. It would be great to find a website that goes .... For $1000, here is your flight, hotel and tour of X city for the weekend.

I haven't seen a real one-stop shop, but I'm a fan of Google Flights (www.google.com/flights) for the flights. Type in your airport and dates, and play around with the map to see your options. On your own for a hotel and tour, though.

When I first read this I thought you were looking for a site that offered you surprise destinations. I was going to suggest drinking a lot and then going to the ticket counter at the nearest airport and then drinking some more.

Me too.... Before Pacific Western went under, they did cheap 'mystery' fares. A quick study of their timetable revealed your odds. They'd tell you the weather of your destination the day before. So - it wasn't a complete mystery but still surprised me how little homework some people actually did. Tulsa?!??! Well - you did buy the 5:00'ish flight! Got nice, cheap trips to San Diego doing those.
