injo Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Hi Tweety, I thought the Wyndham Apollo looked good, but anywhere else is fine too!( guess it depends on everyones budget) Maybe when everyone has "arrived" here on the new board we could make some decisions?

Jen Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 When I checked Wyndham, they didn't have any rooms left for our dates. You might have better luck, if someone cancelled or something... I'm still working on it, but I'm determined. We WILL be there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweety76 Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 I'm actually not taking any stand on the hotel selection I just copied the ones suggested in YWBB thread so we can continue the discussion I'll gladly take advice and follow that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gracelet Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Wyndham looks good to me. I'd be extremely surprised if they're booked out this early. Booking.com and Expedia, among others are showing the option to book. Jen, have you tried searching availability via trip advisor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I'll try again. I tried to book yesterday and had a major glitch that resulted in a significant bank error. That's supposed to be resolved today, cross fingers!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gracelet Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 This shit just got real (in a good way!). Let us know how it goes and then I'll get booking too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 SUCCESS!!!!! I booked directly from the Wyndham's website. We're committed now--they've already charged me. Definitely going to be there! (I could make a comment about failed dikes and potential disasters, but I shall refrain... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gracelet Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 @JustJen Amazing! So troops, also known as Wids on Weed (WOW), decision is made. We're off to Amsterdam and if as many of us as poss can book to stay at the Wyndham Apollo Amsterdam from 17-19th July, that would be simply marvellous. The hotel's website is here: http://www.wyndham.com/hotels/netherlands/amsterdam/wyndham-apollo-hotel-amsterdam/hotel-overview You may want to use a price comparison website to see if you can get a deal on the room rate. Get booking! This shit is happening. I'll be flying in on the Friday morning and leaving on Sunday evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweety76 Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 I booked a room too and I'll book my flights this evening so Aicha and I have a place to stay now. I've asked her to join us here Oh and I'll be arriving in Amsterdam on 16th July around 6 pm if I get the flights I want My return flight will be on Sunday around 6 pm so I could use some company during the day dragging stuff around and being hunged over without a room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gracelet Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Planning on coming:(*=booked and staying at the Wyndham) Grace Boy Widower Injo* Karen BKLYN Ursula Tweety76* Aicha* Midnight_man Michael797* Just Jen* Suki1* K-REBat Anybody new joining the thread, it's looking like we'll have wids in Amsterdam from 16th-19th July so do please join in. I am anticipating both the Friday and the Saturday night being our big nights where we can have a group dinner somewhere (Injo - where might be good?). None of this one evening bago and then drive home sober malarky. We're going to smash it hardcore 8) I'll book in the next few days. Depending on price, I might arrive on the 16th and have that day too. I'll be getting a late flight home on Sunday so that I have maximum time that day too. Boy Widower is poss flaking but I'll book a double nonetheless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jen Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I haven't been on a bike in 20 years, and the idea makes me alternately cringe in terror and howl with laughter at the mental image.I'm darn fine on my feet, however, and excited to see the sights!
