THE FLIPPING OF THE STOMACH Oh my lord Those are the words that creep into my stream of thought every now and then these days. Eleven nights are left for me to spend here in the Netherlands at home. After that Im not going to be home for 56 nights Just thinking about this stresses me out.Mostly because of two things I cannot have enough time to say goodbye to my sweet boyfriend http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Netherlands/North-Holland/Haarlem/blog-692363.html 1. THE DREADED MONTH When I woke up this morning a ray of sunlight shining into my bedroom even though its freezing outside I turned off my alarm and noticed todays date. It is the first of February the dreaded month. This is a month I dread because it means that in 30 days I have to be ready for my trip to Costa Rica because Im leaving on the 11th of March.

Dat doen we altijd ook als het gaat om personeelsreizen en incentivereizen. Hieronder het persbericht dat we recent verstuurden.Het jaar 2010 liet een voorzichtig herstel zien voor de Nederlandse markt van incentive en personeelsreizen.

Not far at all actually with only fifteen minutes on the train and is perfect for a day trip from Amsterdam but we managed to stay for two nights in the end. It is also a great alternative base than Amsterdam to not only for the tourist to Amsterdam but the locals for the cheaper prices and much quieter streets.It has all the charm that is expec http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Netherlands/North-Holland/Haarlem/blog-527677.html Pfff.... wat neem je allemaal meeEn wat moet ik allemaal nog doenIn elk geval een Travelblog aanmakenEn iedereen uitnodigen daarvoorZo... kan er weer wat van mijn lijstjeBlogs schrijven doe ik wel als ik op reis ben.Heet niet voor niets een TRAVELblog http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Netherlands/North-Holland/Haarlem/blog-526698.html I am not going to name the blogs by the day number anymore since it makes the end of the vacation seem to be too soon So today we went to Linnaeushof which is a kids amusement park. Similar to England the park was very much a selfpropelled event. By this I mean the kids have to cycle to get the rides to go or push or pull or climb. Nothing is motorized and the kids had a blast This is the f http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Netherlands/North-Holland/Haarlem/blog-515568.html Hello everyone good morningSorry about the delay in our first post...experiencing technical difficulties with the wifi on my iPod However We arrived to Amsterdam just before 7am local time 1am for us on the 8th with less than an hour sleep on the plane for the night. From the airport we were overwhelmed by the number of locals who were eager and friendly in helping us in the right directio http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Netherlands/North-Holland/Haarlem/blog-513580.html A little time left on our internet purchase so here are some foodie tidbits. According to the audio tape at the historical museum Amsterdam is the most culturally diverse city in the world with over 175 culures represented in its citizenry. I can believe it when you look at the diversity of their restaurants. In an area that would be considered a restaurant district there are Italian Thai O http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Netherlands/North-Holland/Haarlem/blog-500831.html When I think of the Netherlands NL I think of tall skinny buildings and canals. There certainly is a lot of each but what struck me the most is the bicycles. They are everywhere. There are more people on bikes in Amsterdam than in cars. The sidewalks are all quite wide with a slightly different surface on half. That is for bikes. If a bike lane isn't part of the sidewalk there is one on th http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Netherlands/North-Holland/Haarlem/blog-500662.html halloooooo allemaal zoals jullie zien ben ik een nieuw blog begonnen. ga deze eens proberen. ik zal ook wat fotootjes knallen. we zien wel . ok de nieuwe reis gaat weer naar marokko. nou luitjes tot mails. aad. http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Netherlands/North-Holland/Haarlem/blog-470978.html Here are pictures from our time in Haarlem Netherlands. http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Netherlands/North-Holland/Haarlem/blog-396737.html In the meantime of settling in job searchingstarting and accepting and going out with my boy I got the best present ever My dad came Oh it is the best present really when you have not seen your family for so long and then someone visits. I told dad this was better than any Christmas present. Dad flew in on 27 October. On the first day in Amsterdam on the 28 of October we spent walking around A http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Netherlands/North-Holland/Haarlem/blog-373904.html The Zaanse Schans is a township which lies in the industrial area along the River Zaan. Here lie perfect examples of homes as they were in days gone by together with 6 working windmills some of which have been reconstructed on this site and some which have always stood on this site but which have had bits and pieces from other windmills added to them to reconstruct them completely.Of course i http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Netherlands/North-Holland/Haarlem/blog-318008.html Well this is where it begins. We're packed mostly and just about ready to enter the southern hemisphere for the first time. Well. Nearly. After Heathrow. And a long flight. And a couple of probably very confused days in Bangkok. And another flight. But anyway... we're ready... bring it onHopefully we will get a chance to post stuff here during our journey but I won't make any promises... it' http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Netherlands/North-Holland/Haarlem/blog-292551.html Continued from Part 1.Upon our arrival in Amsterdam we grabbed a Taxi and headed to our beautiful hotel the Ambassade Hotel on one of the main Canals within the city center. This hotel was the combination of about 10 Canal Houses and was quite unique. Our room was beautiful with a really high ceiling and exquisite decorations. I have to say after my many hostels I was impressed with our ch http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Netherlands/North-Holland/Haarlem/blog-278321.html I have sorely been neglecting my blog How tragic Amsterdam was forever ago but I will try to update on everything since then maybe just with some photos bc honestly I think thats all anyone looks at anyway.
