Perhaps May bank holiday might be a good time!Saying that there are 2 bank holiday weekends aren't there....although 2nd one is always attached to kids half term hols...
Has anyone any ideas about hotels,it would be great if we were all together.Also it might be an idea to pick a largeish one...as we are organising so early,so new people might stand a chance of joining us further along!

It's a fairly small place and everywhere in the central area is really easy to walk or get a tram to - but perhaps it might be best to stay on the 'canal' side rather than the 'red light' side of town.
Erm ... maybe?

Yeah Dam Square's perfect! We stayed in Rembrandtplein which was a good location too. Expedia is a brilliant site to use to look for hotels

Sounds brilliant CC!! Great location and such a good price too!
When do you think we should close the poll to decide the date?
Oh! And is it too early to get excited yet?

Don't know about the location of that hotel, I'd have said go for either more near the Dam, towards the Red Light District or go the other way and stay down by the Leidesplein which is full of pubs, bars and restaurants - including a great blues bar.
I don't know how much is on in the area around the hotel you've mentioned though someone may know more about this area than me.

Be as excited as you want to be my dear.
I'll keep it open a wee bit longer to ensure everyone gets a chance to vote on the month, although it is looking like May. Who knows it may change between now and then - I doubt it though!
Once we close the poll, we'll look at getting deals in hotels. I'm game and I will have alittle more money by then.
Exactement ma amie!
adn't noticed that. I just did a wee search, nothing too in depth (was trying to take my mond of other stuff
)We'll have to find you a big dutch man to sweep you off your feet and carry you around permanently.
Cool. Nothing is set in stone yet. It was just a preliminary search just to get people's travel juices flowing. So to speak. Great advice. Will bare that in mind. tah :clap:
A friend of mine has been to Amsterdam a couple of times in the last few months, if I see her at work tomorrow I'll ask her to jot down a few details, where she stayed etc.
Failing that I'll probably see her Thursday or Friday if people don't mind waiting lol!
great (said with a liverpudlian accent)
