Today’s target run: rest
As the Budman’s trip to NYC and Dallas approaches, and he is going to be gone for about 8 days, one of my work colleagues and I have decided to combine three of our favourite things: (1) travel, (2) shopping, food, and sightseeing, and (3) girls’ weekend trips.
Yes, a first time trip to Amsterdam is in the making for both Cyn and I. Now, we are trying to persuade another work colleagues to go, but she is so far “non-committed” (you know who you are
Plus, the thought of the Budman getting to eat all that Mexican food, see the sights of NYC, and see family and friends required that I plan a little fun as well. (Notice how I have deftly failed to mention that he also has a ton of meetings on his agenda, so in reality he is really is having to work).
Now, we still have a little over a week to wait before the trip, so, for those of you who have been lucky enough to visit this fabulous city, please....some travel tips!

you'll have a great time. we used to go quite a bit since we had friends there. you should definitely go to the van gogh museum - the flower market is nice as well.
i'll see if i can get a little list together of some things...
my
Mike - that would be helpful. I am looking forward to it. This is the weekend that Bud will by seeing you guys.
Hachiegal, having given that some thought, I'm not sure you should be travelling there... you will be seriously tempted with all the antique shops.
One thing not to miss is the "Grand Cafés"... great for people watching and make sure to drink a hot chocolate with slogrom (whipped sweetened cream)... what else, the Rijksmuseam and Anne Frank Museum if you must, some serious shopping can be done and just soak in the athmosphere... love it there. c. s.
Hi Holly,
You are going to Amsterdam! If you have time, you would LOVE Haarlem and seeing Corrie tenBoom's home. It is amazing. It is a 20 minute train ride from Amsterdam and just down the street from the train station in Haarlem. It is so moving - it makes you cry.
