here we go!

OK, requested the leave at work and started booking flights and rooms. The plan is to leave on the 3rd, arriving on the 4th, spend through the 7th in Amsterdam seeing the city and taking little day trips to Den Haag, Haarlem, and Oosterbeek/Arnhem, then take the train (well, three trains, it looks like) up to Harlingen and spend several days there enjoying the sea air, maybe take a trip out to the islands, then train back to Schipol and home on the 11th.

Way cool! What month, April or May?

[winterbadger]

April, before tulip season gets into *full* swing. Prices in A'dam are already high by then, but the hotel in Harlingen looks to be about half (or less) the price of the big city.

Wow! That sounds great! Have a wonderful time, hon. :-)

When you're in Den Haag, you can get a good taste of the North Sea shore in Scheveningen; plus, if you like architecture, there's a lovely colourful, over-the-top Victorian hotel/concert hall there called the Kurhaus that's worth a look. It's goofy, but cute in its own way. ^_^
