My last trip to the land from which my folks immigrated from was 2001...next April I'm targetting as my long-awaited and well-overdue return...my Oma nd I have b-days two days apart from each other...plus they're just a few short days before the weekend of Koninginedag (Queen's Day)

That is awesome Ryan You must be pretty excited to go back home then? And what a great way to celebrate with your Oma too!

My initial goal was to be there for Koninginnedag next year but my plans have been pushed back by a bit until after I get my braces off. I don't want to have to wait any longer and if I could leave tomorrow I would, but I have to be patient and get things in order before I do this I suppose

hey, but at least you're going, and that's all that matters...a little patience reaps great rewards, when all is told.

Yeah I am really moving there. I have already given away my cats, I am selling my place to my brother by September (after I have a few discussions with my parents as well about living arrangements to save money), I am going to be starting to take a dutch course offered through Conestoga College come January so I can at least start learning to speak the language. As for a place to live, my friend Lex just bought a house in Hoorn which is about 30 min outside of Amsterdam and I talked to him while I was there and he said that I can rent a room from him for the time being until I can decide what I want to do. Another friend Onno I had mentioned about being roommates in Amsterdam so that is also a possiblility. For a job, I haven't started to worry about that yet. I plan on saving enough money (I already have a good chunk) so that I won't be overwhelmed when I get there, but learning the language will help me find a job as well. That is the only thing I don't have in place yet.

I have another 10 months before I move probably so I still have time to figure things out. But I can't wait to do it; if it works out then I will be the happiest girl on earth. If things don't go as planned then it is a life time experience that I will always have

for those who wanted to you could purchase a 1 person or 2 person tent from Heineken and they set up the tent for you (they were all numbered for when you signed in you were designated a #) and they supplied the sleeping bags and matress to lay on for the tent as well. It is a great concept so I didn't have to buy or bring anything with me for it. You can even take it all with you when you leave if you want.
