We want to drop of luggage at the Hotel (near dam) and the nearest coffee house is Abraxas, Nes, or Ricks Cafe. I figure once we get everything organized by about 10:00-10:30 AM we will be ready to party.

Going out to eat dinner no problem. I really want to see Ann Frank's house and many other places of interest.
If your plane's on time and arrival is smooth, you could be at Abraxas around 9:30. Anne Frank house is good, but I've seen it three times already (1969, 1993, and 2006). You want to either get there at the instant it opens and give the tour busses a miss, or get there at 4PM when they've left, although the latter will have you winding through the solid line of the tour when the house is extremely hot and stuffy. Drink lots of water first!! You might want to just head there and meet me afterwards.

Nes stayed a bar and no longer sells weed, but it is smoke friendly if you BYO. I'll certainly be holding :D

Anne Frank's house is open until 21:00, I believe. I got there at 18:00, very nice, no lines.

Ah, open until 21:00 through Sep 15. After that it closes at 19:00. Was last there at the end of Sept 2006 when the earlier closing was in effect, so I'm not losing my memory.

Abraxas is just fine. I aim to arrive there between 9:30 and 10. I'll be wearing a white shirt with blue flames. You'll know it when you see it. See you Saturday!

Are you bringing a heavy Jacket and long sleeve shirts. It is going to
be a shock from around 100 degree weather.

Lol. Current long term forecast is partly cloudy and 68F on Saturday. That's near the high end of my comfort zone. I may be wearing shorts and mopping my brow with a handkerchief. :D

We hit 90 up here in Boston yesterday. Yuck. I'm a native Floridian and I moved up here to escape that (and Disney too).

So what happened to Ingo?

Unfortunately, my wife's aunt, who she was really close to, died on Friday and I turned around and went right back home on Sat.

Ah well. Maybe next year.
