Amsterdam

Amsterdam, Netherlands

A round-trip from Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) airport to Amsterdam Schipol Airport (AMS) on Delta for $386 over Thanksgiving? Count me in! This time I was traveling with my friend Alexa for a short stay in Amsterdam to enjoy all the city had to offer, including the Heineken Brewery tour.

We stayed at the Hampton Inn which was a one transfer off any train at Centraal Station. Decent pricing and extremely good accomodations.

Visited the Anne Frank house. It’s amazing to me that they all occupied that small space. Very somber place to visit. Missed out on the Van Gogh Museum, just ran out of time.
