    Starbucks makes me homesick! Also I don't like their coffee. I'm a Dunkin' girl, as far as coffee chains go. Also, I've eaten a waffle every day for the last 4 days. Is there any difference between a Belgian Waffle and a Stroopwafel?

    Yes there is... Belgian waffles are much thicker and fluffier than stroopwafels and they miss the main ingredient of the stroopwafel, Syrup. A stroopwafel are two thin wafels with syrup in between them. Stroop means syrup in Dutch...

    Thanks!

    As Sanny said already, yes cameras are allowed. But only the simple point and shoot ones. Professional cameras (SLR or any camera with detachable lenses) are not allowed.

    It's not far from the Bulldog. They recommend all the best & worst places to go for you all your herbal requirements plus they have dj's and entertainment in there. You're free to smoke and hang out but take your own drinks. I'm wired now 4 more sleeps ! I'm really looking forward to the World Cup and can't wait to see the U.S.A v Ganja

    I can't believe we'll be seeing the boys in just three days! My countdown says 3 days and 12 hours to show start!
    Especially looking forward to meeting all of you guys, I'm sure it'll be a blast. Hoping for some sunny weather on Monday of we have to stand in line all day outside, but it's looking promising so far.

The next flight we could get was 6pm tomorrow..yes I said 6pm!!! WTF??? United Airlines just robbed us an entire day in Amsterdam... but the good news is out flight tomorrow is direct into Schiphol... arriving at 9am-ish. I hope no one else flight problems, but if you have United I wish you the best of luck.

    Aer Lingus? Good stuff, they were set to strike next Monday and Wednesday, luckily they called it off. One time Delta over-sold my connecting flight to Jamaica costing my family one day of vacation. Needless to say, my wife was upset and the airline cut us a check for almost enough to pay for the whole trip. :D

    I was stressing over the strike. I'm flying on the 16th and 18th, the 2 proposed strike days. Big relief when they called it off.
