Re: How long until...

I was getting a little worried; it seemed like things had died down a bit around here as people begin their individual preparations for this epic meet. :shock: Eight days until I'm in the place, not counting a few nights of boozin' in Dublin beforehand. I can't wait :D

@ cattales1960: Sounds good, O'Hare is full of overpriced tourist-y shops that sell that kind of stuff!

Re: whos going to 420 this year for the 1st time ???

I have to chime in and say 'thanks' to Hestia and others who have been so welcoming! Since the 'Dam will be my second stop after spending 5 nights in Dublin, I'll miss out on some of the early events (I fly in the afternoon of the 19th and will be staying until the 24th), but I'm ready to get it in ...

Re: 4/20 Weekend, where is everybody staying??

Rented a duplex in Weesperzijde, just outside the Centrum - apparently close to the Metro, which I've never ridden before. Should be an interesting experience for the stoned traveler, lol. :D

Re: Money

I'd have to agree with the majority of the comments here. When I went last April, I brought about €100 per day; it wound up not being enough, but I had credit cards to bridge the gap. Mind you, my budget was somewhat thrown off by the volcanic eruption, the subsequent cancellation of my connecting f...

Re: The Annual 4-20 Gathering - 20th April 2011

I'm in for the 19th - 24th! After much searching, I finally found an apartment my friend Colleen and I could deal with. I'm ready to live it up after last year's wrench in the 4-20 plan!

I'm planning on a return to the 'Dam April 19 - 24 with a few friends. It seemed like I was was one of the lucky ones that actually made it there for last 420 (after the volcanic ash canceled my connecting flight, leaving me with a 9-hour standing-room only train ride from Zurich to Amsterdam :x ) a...

My friend and I were able to get in to Amsterdam from Chicago O'Hare Thursday at 7:20 to Zurich. The reps at the Swiss Air counter were trying to discourage us, but we could not be deterred. The flight was an additional 90 minutes long due to the necessity in taking a more southern route due to the ...

I was thinking that 1,000 Euro would work out for the time that I'm going to be there 4/16 - 4/21, but I'll also have plastic should any impulses arise. The exchange rate at any denomination higher than that made me a little uncomfortable when I realized that I'd be losing in the deal...($1700 = a l...
