Well if all goes well for me next week, I could well be living out that way when you make your Hajj.

If it is to be, it will be great to meet up with you :)

I think Amsterdam is the perfect selection for a bachelors party. The near proximity makes it very popular with our British cousins, but its an apex for us in the US. It's crazy, sexy, stoney and quaint. perfect.

:D Two weeks to departure, I get an email. :(

I detest NWA and :? I don't know why I let myself fall into their trap. If it weren't a KLM operated flight, I wouldn't even considered booking the 'NWA' flight (which was really KLM). Anyway, I did and now I am delayed :arrow: six hours getting into the Dam! arghhh :!: .... DAM! DAM! DAM you NWA :!:

OH WELL, better luck next time, it's still a good mark on the 'how close is it' yardstick.

:!: :idea: :D 14 days to go :!: :!: :!:
Look out Dam,
... here I come again!

Enjoy!
sorry for late reply, yes. if i have good luck with a place, I go back. I like the people at the bulldog, there are a lot of nice people there. :D

I actually favour 420 the most, spent four solid days in there on my last trip. one of them about 13hours.

I prefer meeting up with people in the 420, then meeting up at Basjoe's when I already know them. I feel more comfortable with strangers in 420 for some bizarre reason :shock:

That suits me fine. Turns out I will be in about noon on 2/12 and not 6 am as originally booked. Imagine you will be available after 'work' hours. Looking forward to meeting you.
