The Road to Amsterdam

Woke up to another beautiful day here at the beach.  We were fortunate to have enjoyed two very relaxing days after the storm.  We have been hearing lots of horror stories of about lots of folks still without power and possibly will be for the next several days.

Going to make our way to Cambridge today with a few stops along the way.  Our Mr. Finance Guy, Strategic Planning Group in Wellesley, has been kind enough to buy my books for his clients to peruse while waiting.  We figured since we were out that way, we will stop by say hello and do a book signing.  We are eternally grateful to David for making this life of ours possible.  After that, a last minute trip to REI and then off to Cambridge to spend some time with Deidre and the grandkids.  We will leave the car with them. Danny is kind enough to take us to and from the airport.

Take-off is at 9:40pm with a change of planes in Zurich.  We will get into Amsterdam at around 2pm on Thursday.  It's going to be a very long couple of days.  Heard from our B&B lady in Amsterdam and we will be able to take a bus from airport directly to the B&B.  Will probably invest in a GVB pass (which is good for buses, trams, and the underground metro).  They are sold by time - so we will get one for 72 hours and save some money and hassle while treking around the city.

Friday night we are looking forward to getting together with our barge group at some restaurant not too far from where we are staying.  Hopefully, all will show up.  We board the barge on Saturday afternoon.  The weather has been very iffy in Amsterdam this past month.  Our rain gear is packed, but we are hoping we don't have to pull it out too often.  Think Sunshine!!

Next time.... Hot Dam, Amsterdam!
