Amsterdam Update

OK. We have had a little hecticness (a word?....it is now) which is my feeble excuse for not having posted anything for a few days........that and the fact I am not there yet....

BUT

Everything is taking shape. I have my ticket for the boat. I have my ticket for the plane. I have my 'inbetween England hotel' booked - to be paid for on arrival. And I also have my Amsterdam 'night before I get my apartment hotel' booked.

2 weeks to go until I set sail on the (hopefully) calm Irish sea for Liverpool. I say hopefully; 2 days ago we had gale force winds and the sea looked like whipped cream.
