Jen Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 This trip is saving my life somedays. When it gets really hard I'm thinking: "I have to keep on because of this trip!" You and me both. ((((Hugs)))) No idea what I'll do when August rolls round, but I'm committed until then, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweety76 Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 TADAA ladies and gents! I've just set up a countdown in my phone and official count on European time zone is right now 54 days (the time o'clock is wrong). I'm counting days to my arrival in Amsterdam which is the 16th July. Can't wait to see you guys!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-REBat Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Dudes, I hurts me to say this. But I'm not going to make it. I just can't swing it. What can I say. It is what it is. Very sad, K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-REBat Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I'm so bummed. But I have to be realistic about my situation. Now will one of you smoke a dube for me and then run a mile or two. Medicinal has not been rolled out in New York yet. --K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael797 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 After jumping through several hoops (some I didn't think I'd fit through) and correcting several bureaucratic errors (at one point my birth certificate said I was my own father), I have successfully submitted the passport application. Amsterdam has approximately six weeks to get ready for the invasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael797 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Ported over from Facebook by request. The Top 10 Ways (or so) I Could Conceivably Cause an International Incident: 1. Get so wasted that I attempt to eat a tourist who my hallucinations (and munchies) convince me is made out of chocolate. 2. Scream at the Consulate for not receiving a complimentary pair of wooden shoes. 3. Stick my finger in a dike - only to find that I've used the wrong spelling. 4. Carry a lance up to a windmill while humming "The Impossible Dream." 5. Demand to see the kid on the paint cans. 6. Announce that I'm allergic to tulips and decree that every single one be uprooted and burned. 7. Insist that "Naw, vunst" is a perfectly appropriate Dutch expression. 8. Complain that today's Dutch women are lazy because I haven't seen a single one carrying two pails on a yoke. 9. Rant about Hitler and Nazis, proclaming that where I come from, German or Dutch makes no damn bit of difference. 10. Exclaim "Bicycles are for wussies - gimme a Mo-ped!" 11. Stagger up and down the Rossebuurt at 3 am singing "Roxanne" at the top of my lungs. 12. Ask of the hotel conceirge "Is there anything here that's the correct goddamm voltage?"

gracelet Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I'm with a couple of friends who have spent time in Amsterdam . Here is a suggested itinerary: Friday (waiting for everyone to arrive hence late afternoon start) - River cruise - Dinner - Red light - Coffee shop - Meander down canal Saturday: - riijks museum - lunch - Van Gogh museum - cheese tasting - dinner - party Sunday: - Anne frank museum - flower market - lunch - Heineken brewery Obviously we don all have to do the same thing at the same time but these are just some suggestions. I've been recommended that we each buy an Amsterdam pass as it fires entry to many of the above. Also, Anne Frank house should be booked in advance. If everyone is up for it and agreed on Sunday morning, Injo, do you think you could book us tickets? Grace x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
injo Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Hi Grace, I would be happy to book but just looked at the site of Anne Frank and it is totally booked(not just our days but up to august)! If we are interested in a walking tour maybe we should't wait much longer? I can take care of the reservation! I know that the Rijksmuseum can be very busy too, so if you want I can look into that and maybe book ahead. Maybe it's time to start a pm group? I don't do facebook(I think Ursula doesn't either?)

Michael797 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Is it ok to start getting excited about this yet? I'm still amazed that I'll get to meet all of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gracelet Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Would somebody mind volunteering to coordinate us all and get an email chain going? Like contact details, what we look like, when to meet, when everyone is arriving. I normally would but I am so swamped with work that all my strategic and organised brain energy is being consumed... I am SO LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING YOU. It's going to be a bit mental. You're probably going to be sorely disappointed at how blah I am in real life.

injo Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Grace, I can do that(if everone agrees!) I will send a group pm with my emailadres to get all the emailadresses and start it up, after you all have checked the list because I want to be sure I don't "forget" anyone!! So here's the WOWlist: Ursula Grace Boywidower Tweety76 Aicha Michael797 JustJen Suki 1 Helen Wnella(not staying at the Wyndham, one day stay?)

Make sure you share all of your adventures with those of us sitting at home! Assuming that, as we'll all be in the same hotel, we may have at least one pajama party or something (knowing full well that I'll wind up sleeping in the bathtub), maybe we can collectively compose a report for the board during the trip.
