41 Hours to go...

Im psyched.

Havent really started to pack yet. Doing some laundry, and was running errands earlier..

Hmm... did you ever stop to wonder where in the heck you can have your drycleaning done in Amsterdam? http://www.stomerijen.nl/indexeng.htm

and more here
See, how prepared I am!?!? Do they give PhDs for this?

As you can see, I am relying heavily on an Amsterdam forum located online at www.channels.nl I have found that the nicest people hang there and are willing to offer information an anything you could think of. And they really have a true interest in everything Amsterdam. Because of this Im expecting Amsterdam to be really welcoming, friendly, laid back, and cool.

When I am over there, I plan on posting a day-by-day trip report. Hopefully - hopefully I will be able to also upload photos too. That will take some leg-work as I will have to find a internet cafe that will allow me to connect my camera to their computer with my USB cable. I've learned that isnt often allowed. This place supposedly allows it though.. Cyberlounge
hmmm... I decided not to bring my laptop with just because it would be such an easy target for thieves, and besides, I will have enough on my mind.

Something I wish I would have spent more time on is learning some phrases in Dutch. I might try some cramming on the plane. This page is helpful too Sights and Sounds But anyway, time is ticking. And I am looking forward to what I will find once I get there.
