I'M COMING!

Countdown: 5 days til Amsterdam!

Okay, this past week has been hectic and now I am in panic mode.
I've just about sorted which clothes I'm bringing. LOL. After last time when I took too many, I wanted to pare it down, but I think I still have too many! onebag.com says to pack 2 pairs of pants and 4 tops. Are you kidding? I need at least twice that many clothes at least!!! We have gone out and bought bigger suitcases.

Got the manicure and pedicure. Have ruined two nails already. Bought French manicure touch-up kit yesterday.
Two days left to go at tanning salon. Am looking much more bronzed. Good. Was hideously pasty white only weeks ago. LOL.
Olivia and I have been walking for an hour almost every night for the past four weeks to get conditioned. I now have lovely toned quads and have lost a lot of the "muffin top" around my waist.
We are going to get our hair done this afternoon. Olivia wants a hot oil treatment, and I need a trim.

Okay, our first two flight arrivals information is as follows:

1) Toronto to Amsterdam

Via KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Flight #KL696
Departs 2210 hrs. Thursday April 23/09
Arrives 1125 on Friday, April 24/09

2) Amsterdam to Munich

Via KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Flight #KL1793
Departs 0935 on Sunday, April 26/09
Arrives 1100 same day!

The hotel info has changed. The travel agent couldn't get some of the hotels I wanted, so we will be staying as follows:

In Amsterdam:

NH Schipol
Kruisweg 495
NL 2132 NA Hoofddorp
No telephone number was given!

In Munich:

InterCity Hotel, Muenchen
Bayerstrasse 10
Telephone #49-894-44440

On the 28th we will be leaving for Augsberg and have booked into the InterCity Hotel there.
Address: Halderstrasse 29
Telephone #49-821-50390

lhuneldaiel, I need to know how to contact you once we are there. Also, for
drbillbongo, I need ditto from you! Can you both please contact me via my other and preferable e-mail addy, jenni442@gmail.com, with your suggestions? I'll be sure to get it that way! Bill, you could call me at the hotel(s) if you like, because they have provided both numbers! And if you think it would be better for us to stay in Munich rather than come into Augsburg, then please let me know because I can cancel the Augsburg reservation with at least 24 hours' notice! I do want to visit the Allianz Arena at some point!

Okay, I'm getting excited again! See you soon!!! *squeeees*

I remember when you said you have booked your trip it seemed like ages away, but now it seems to have gotten here really fast !!

2 pairs of trousers and 4 tops hahahaha, where did they get the info from !!

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

LOL. I think that site is run by a man! And a backpacker, too!

[lhuneldaiel.livejournal.com]

OMG less than one week! LOL@you buying bigger suitcases XD

I'll send you an email with my phone numbers.
Woow, you're staying in Hoofddorp? That's way outside the city O_O

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

OMG the travel agent couldn't get me the hotel I wanted so he booked me into one which I think is near the airport! It's OK though, we can just take a cab to anywhere.

LOL. Even with the bigger suitcases, I'm not sure we'll have enough room for everything!

[lhuneldaiel.livejournal.com]

It's near the airport, yes. I looked it up, and it's about half an hour by train and bus to the Amsterdam Central Station. Cabs are expensive! What I'd do if I were you is take the train to and from the city centre, and take a cab to get to the hotel.

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

OK, that's a good idea. Stupid travel agent to put us way out there! But he was trying to save us money on the hotel, I know he was! So we will take the train to get to the city centre as you suggested! (Holy shit, your icon!!!! I want to jump it!!)

[aglaiya.livejournal.com]

Always the same. Always I took too many clothes with me. Better to buy some new clothes *smiles* better to travel 'light'!

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

I always take too many clothes! And some I never wear! Why do I never learn?

[aglaiya.livejournal.com]

You cannot take clothes for four weeks with you *lol* You can buy some in every town and you'll always remember....

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

You are right! I will take only some...less than a week's worth, and I will buy whatever else I need! *kisses*
Thank you!

[aglaiya.livejournal.com]

*huggels* it was always the best way for me.

Later you'll remember what you have bought in Amsterdam or in Sevilla... You'll wear the clothes and you'll feel like you would be there again...

[pikku-enkeli88.livejournal.com]

I wish I could see you while you're in Germany! :(

[txorakeriak.livejournal.com]

OMG!!!! I can't believe how quickly time has flown by! The last time you wrote about your trip, it still seemed ages away, and now the day has almost come! I'm SO EXCITED!

It might be best to spend the 28th in Munich entirely because I won't get the day off work. I was told last Friday that I'll have to set up a conference (including laptop and beamer) for my boss on the 28th, and I'll be the only one at the office who can do that because my IT colleague is on holiday. How many days do you have in Munich? And how many in Augsburg? That way we can determine what would be best, staying in Munich for the whole duration of your stay or coming to Augsburg at some point. I mean, I'd definitely love to show you my city, but I'd understand if you preferred seeing more of Munich instead.

Of course, you MUST visit the Allianz Arena! I hope they'll have a guided tour when you're there! If you want me to accompany you, let me know, and I'll try to take some days off work.

I'm going to write you an e-mail with my contact details and some suggestions about how to spend the time you're here. Of course I'll just take you to places you want to see! :)

SEE YOU SOON! *GLOMPS*

I'm so excited for you. It sounds like you need a vacation after all those preparations. The weather should be great at this time of year. As for the luggage, don't be surprised if you have to pick up another bag when you are in Europe just to fit all the souvenirs and clothes and any other gifts you inevitably will be purchasing.

Have a fantastic time :-)

AGH! I'm so late contacting you... sorry, but I totally lost track of your trip dates...

I have sent you a mail to your gmail account - hopefully we can meet up in Munich on Sunday afternoon?? I'll try to reach you in your hotel if I don't hear from you

*hugs*
