sounds like fun. I did a weekend trip once from the states...was fun but man what a whilrwind between the 8 hours each way on a plane and then only 3 days in mokum was a bit much for all the travel. I'd be there every weekend if i lived in UK. I once done a 17 hour each way coach trip for only a 3 ...

I recall on my third visit, for a m8's 40th birthday, being asked how I found the smokes that year. Never thought why they would ask for any reason?. And in thinking back from then to my first trip nothing I tried in the lower to mid price seemed to have been as potent!. Except feb 07 (fifth trip) I...

Well the Bulldog Hotel gets my vote for a smokers hotel!. As said no smoking in the rooms but the lounge\bar area has 24 hour access (but noted this closed a number of times at say 4 in the morning so had to go for a walk for a joint). Also has a lift, very handy for when you over do the last smoke ...

Trip 5: Feb 07: Part 2
Amsterdam Trip 5 Day 1 part 2/2 Please note that this report is not 100% acurate!. Due to the time since the trip took place and a number of missing notes. I'd rate this report at best as only about 80% acurate due to time issues. And there will likely be a number of details missing and slightly wro...

Trip 5 Feb 07 part 1 of 2
I've been in 2 minds weather to even bother doing a report after near 14 months since the trip. But having moved shortly after returning and the girlfriend being pregnant it prevented me from doing so at the time. Well having found some old notes written down from the trip I've decided to do it anyw...

Oct 18-25th Day 1
You'd think with going to Amsterdam for a full week there would be plenty to write about in some ways right?. But whilst previous trips were pretty eventfull this one was a pretty normal trip. So I feel it best to appolagise that the following reports wont be as entertaining as I'd have liked to hav...

Re: Oct 18-25 Pre trip thoughts
I always wonder with each upcoming trip to Amsterdam if my expectations of the trip is going to leave me feeling somewhat dissapointed as I tend to research things of what where and when to do things. But in my 3 previous visits my planning and research has never gone to plan. And I was often left ...

One thing to note is to book your flights as soon as you can. Others will possably have said this in the past but the later you leave it to book a flight on the "budget" airlines like Easyjet and Ryanair the more your gonna pay for them. If I booked my flight in the last week for Amsterdam I'd be pa...

If your on a tight budget then best going to a cheaper place and having more spending money. I can personally recomend the Bulldog Hotel http://www.bulldog.nl as a cheap place to stay, I've been there a few times now. But you have to choose weather to get the cheapest room and share in a dorm with o...

Excelent report. Cant wait to read the rest. Put them all together and you have a book!. We smoothly set down on a runway somewhere near Utrecht I believe… seemed like it took us an hour and a half to taxi to the gate… and isn’t that the A10 beside us??? We were cruising alongside the highway at som...

A nice little story that. Just goes to show it pays to research things to know how much cash to take when going to other countries. The guy should have suppresed his urges with the RLD ladies. That way he could have carried on travelling for another couple of weeks. But of cause no futher than Amste...
