I am not looking forward to the flight there though (i think its 14 hrs+) .. but first i'll be going to wales, spending the day there, then I travel to birmingham (that's where the conference is). I'll be there for 3 days, then afterwards travel back to wales - where i'll spend a day sight seeing. then off to amsterdam for two days.

Anyone who's been to amsterdam have any suggestions of what i should see??

I just had to share my excitement with someone. I wish i could bring kikko with me .. i will def miss the lil guy. i will take lots of pics and def share with you all!!!

Lucky you! We visited Amsterdam for 3 days in 2000, and it was the highlight of our two-week European tour. Don't spend too much time in the coffee shops, lol. If you're into history, the Anne Frank Museum is there. It was fascinating. We also went to a beach about 30 minutes away that was pretty cool. We took a city tour and did some kind of paddleboat trip through the canals. Lots of canals in Amsterdam. Cheap beer too. Definitely take pictures. Oh, the red light district is world famous. Maybe it's a guy thing, though, lol. Have fun!
