Hello all...
I'm gonna be going to Amsterdam in mid to late Nov. 2011... I'm gonna be going alone because no one i know can afford to go .. so I'm hoping to maybe find a cool group of people to share an apartment with ... my dates r very flexible but i want to be there from minimum 1 to max 2 weeks..
I have been to Amsterdam before about 3 years ago and i had a BLAST!!

Welcome to ACD! If I were you I would plan on going during the Cannabis Cup the last week of November. There will be at least 20 people in town including myself. If you look in the travel plans forum you'll see a CC thread at the top with more info.

Peace,

yes for sure .. i just found a good ticket for 802 from florida to amsterdam for 11-21 to 12-01 .. i just wonder if its too many days... 9 nights in the Dam might kill me lol

9 days should make it fun! I usually go for 10 myself but going for 14 this time. If you do book, I'll see you in about 4 months.

Well im buying my ticket on july 5th .. for nov 21 to dec 1st but now im trying to find a hotel.. since im going alone i want to be close to the center and im not 100% sure about a hostel.. i stayed in one for Oktoberfest and it was ok .. just no privacy at all..not to mention the shit expolsion someone had in the bathroom.. eww
any recomendations ?
im trying to be as affoardable as possible but i want it to be safe and clean hotel or hostel..
some ones that r coming up are Quentin Arrive , Bellevue Hotel , and Bellevue Hotel and Hotel Avenue
they r suposed to be really close to the station.. ive been told thats the best part to be in.. last time i stayed in at the best western blue square and it was kinda far .. but very nice and clean . good breakfast.. i dont really wanna go back cause its just too far ..
help please !!

parties at basjoe and voyagers nightly...look for the orange motor scooter

cool

I spent about 6 months researching.. I finally decided on the Avenue Hotel. ( I originally booked the Bellevue, but switched due to the Avenue for the " breakfast included" option, not sure I am up for too many early mornings of going out for much more than a Wake N' Bake) . I have read some mixed reviews on both, but to be honest, if it is relatively clean, and easy to find in a stupor, I'm ok with it. Bellevue has a smoking area on the roof I think, and a bar downstairs.. avenue has an elevator and seems maybe a bit more secure. Just throwing this out there.. JIMI

You need some richer friends girl...lol. Seriously though, have a good time. I used to live in Ft. Myers, but Florida is too hot for me! Portland's climate is much more preferable. I was going to go over Thanksgiving, but decided to go in December instead.

Hi - good luck on your quest! A few comments: If you haven't already booked your flight, I just posted an Aer Lingus fire sale price of $631 from NY. I am not even sure if Aer Lingus is an option originating in FL, but worth mentioning. Hotel/Hostel, I can't say enough good things about the Bulldog in Centrum. I have been there 6 times now with no appreciable problems. Yes, some of the room mates I have had were messy, but I think if it was a big problem there would be little effort to get the staff to relocate you. I only use my room for sleeping and showering so the hostel environment suits me fine and at around 30E a night it leaves plenty of cash for more essential expenses

ill be there on the 24th and am also staying at the avenue hotel! nice long thursday - tuesday weekend!! if your into drum and bass there is 3 nights going on, friday and sunday @ melkweg the satday is @ the sand english dnb dj's and mc's and from what i can see taking weed is ok as long as its not preroll (no problem for me!)

I totaly forgot about this post..
I ended up booking a package trip on Cheaptickets.com for 1547 for Nov 21 to dec 1 staying at the Bellevue. I’m coming from my local airport so not having to go to Miami is a super plus cause I HATE Miami airport... I’m super excited and can’t wait to meet everyone and have a total blast. I land @10ish am on the 22nd and hope to be in the Dam and with the fatty in my hand by 12...
yay!!

Cool to see that others might be going to Innovation in the Dam as detailed above. I bought my Innovation ticket in July. Hope we can get a lil group together and do some kind of pre-rinse out meetup.
