Good Morning ,
We are less than a week away from our trip-hooray!!!
I was reading in some travel information that if you want coffee in the hotel there may or may not be some in the room. Don't take the chance, there is always hot water , bring some instant packets of coffee, tea and hot chocolate if you like. You can always purchase some in country .
Wear comfortable shoes and bring warm socks. It is still a bit chilly there with some rain,to help the flowers grow).Rain boots or shoes, cloth ones are warm but do soak up that moisture.
A back pack for short day trips or trips to the class and working on the car parade.A light rain jacket,umbrella may also be a good idea.
I will be at the gate at the airport around 11:00. I will bring with be a big paper yellow tulip for those of you that don't know me.
Remember to pack what you can carry. If you have a bad arm,leg,hip we will help you carry yours so pack what you want to be comfortable.
Hope all of you have connected with your room mates, to say hi.
Remember you are not obligated to do anything with the group. If you want to skip a class or tour just let me know. This is your trip,if you want to sleep in one morning,you will want to find the best way to met with us when you like.
When the bus says we leave at a specific time, for example 9:00, that means that the bus door close at 9:00, we will depart at 9:00.We will not hold the bus, we pay extra for any of that.
A reminder, we will depart our plane in Chicago for the non stop to Amsterdam. Be sure and check the flight and boarding schedules so you are there on time.Bring some ear plugs, snacks,empty water bottle,any meds ,slippers,shawl ( if you are chilly)computer/ipad,eye cover.Bring any comforting thing you like for an overnight flight. I sleep easily on planes so that is where I will be.
When we arrive in Amsterdam we will all pick up our luggage, meet at one spot then call the bus company to pick us up. Make your luggage well, bright,big, noisy. Whomever has the best marked luggage will never loose it.
Keep your eye on your purse/bags all of the time. NEVER HANG ANYTHING OVER A CHAIR! I always put the handle of the bag around my leg if I am setting. Be aware all of the time without being paranoid.
I have 2 pair jeans, three t shirts,t sport shirt,one warm sweater,one rain jacket,1 zip up sweatshirt jacket,rain geer,small backpack,fanny pack,hat,2 pair tights,2 tops, 1 pair shoes,walking shoes and clothes,ear muffs,jammies,thats about it for clothes.Then make up-meds-undies-candy-necessities.
You are allowed one free check bag, one carry on and a purse--a big purse!!
Travel in comfortable clothes, something easy to maneuver in the small bathrooms.Carry a toothbrush with you just in case and anything you may need for one day in case your luggage is delayed.
In the picture of the hotel room there was a hair dryer. I will check to See if that is so and tell you.
More later.
