I've been to Amsterdam 4 times over the last couple years. These fares may be good now, but I was generally able to beat them using some consolidators or specials from various airlines. In '99, I was able to go round trip from ATL to Schipol (AMS) for $225 + taxes. That was by far the best deal I've ever gotten going over seas.

Also, most everything you hear about Amsterdam is true. But, if you go, you might want to visit De Hauge for a night. It's a much calmer city and it still has the fruits of the netherlands. It's about a half hour to an hour train ride leaving Amsterdam.

Don't know if it's still true, but the Duty Free shops when it comes to high end watches offers FANTASTIC prices. This was back in 1994, but I was able to purchase a watch for about 55% of the price I would have paid in the US. And, the watch I bought is the kind that never goes on sale and is priced basically the same at all stores. Saved over $700!

if $700 was only 45% of the price, dare I ask how much the watch cost you? (oh well, you do the math, 700 * 11/9 ) I think my first car cost less.....

oh, yeah, and I might add that this is not cheap at all. only recently(thanksgiving) I flew to Amsterdam using Lufthansa Companion flies free promo where I got 2 roundtrip SFO-Amsterdam tix for $900 and that included the 2 airport $100 taxes and a free HP 215 digital camera they were giving away...

Yeah, but you should have seen what all they had!! Tons of $10,000+ high-end luxury watches. I felt like the pauper of the bunch that was crowding the window there. So, if you do go, check them out. They also had tons of the lower mid-range priced luxury watches as well--ones that retail in the US for $500-$1000.

BTW, the watch was a graduation (not undergrad) present from my parents, so I didn't want to push them too hard.

Yeah but that was when the airlines were begging on their knees to get peeps to fly. Now they're not quite so desperate, although air travel is still down.

Plus, Continental's on-time rate sucks. If they even have a plane for you to fly on.

GreenHouse coffeehouse in Centrum, 1/2 mile from train station. Best pot on earth + hash and liquor {most coffee houses do not serve liquor} Been there, done that and want to do it again. White widow , Oh MY God! But the public facilities are very strange. You piss out in the public view, you are only being covered from just below your crotch to just above your waist. People sit and laugh, But with really good pot, all anyone can do is laugh. Great Times

register for icelandic airlines lucky fares list. Fares have been as low as 185.00 plus taxes.

I love the Greenhouse Effect which is about 3 minutes from the train station. Their "special" is some of the best in town, as well as their "white widow" and a couple of their hashes.

While this used to be my favorite place in town, I got really tired of where it's located. Being just inside the red-light district and near the train station means lots of seedy people walking around.

My favorite in the land is Grey Area. It's run by a couple Americans (at least they started it and were still running it last time I was there) and they know their business. The shop is small even by coffeeshop standards, but their selection is top notch. They generally have a couple different unique strands. Of the hashes they have, "the wobbler" and "yellow cab" are fantastic. They were the inventors of "double bubble" and the "silver haze" strands which stand out from the usual selection most stores have. They are good friends with Jerome Baker, so he blows lots of exclusive glass for this place. There is generally 20-30 nice glass waterpipes from Jerome Baker sitting around the shop ready for you to use. The locals in this shop are also pretty friendly and the owners are great guys. It's located about a block and a half from the Anne Frank house (half a block north, one block towards town).

Other nice shops around town to look out for are de Dampkring. These guys have an outreagous amount of bud in their shop. Lots of unique and hard to find varieties. If they have the "white russian," pick it up by all means. They've had it once out of four times to the shop and it is great. So white you can barely see the green buds.

All the Rokerij shops are nice. There's three (maybe 4) around town and all are nicely decorated and they have superior smoke as well.

The Greenhouse way down South (an hour walk from train station at least) is really good. The "super silver haze" was outstanding. So white with crystals. Similar to the "white russian."

Also, Dutch Flowers is a good shop. I liked Pink Floyd as well, but their selection is pretty run of the mill.

I bought a ticket from Chicago (ORD) to Brussels yesterday for $360+$110 tax, through Council Travel.
Prices to Amsterdam are comparable, it's about a $30 round trip train ticket between anyway.Student Universe or STA Travel have similar student prices. Prices will start ramping up for summer though (I'm going next week), so I think continental's fare is about average for the time period May 1-June 15 outbound. Try this forum for european airfare browsing.

Then call me crazy baby since no dope of any kind has ever entered this dude. Is that why everyone else calls me crazy? Hmmmmmmmmm. Anyway, I'm going to Europe in a couple of weeks and sure would love to score a better deal than the one I currently have. Jonnybaby and aphex thanks a lot for your posts. Jonny I'm gonna check out the links right now.

BTW there are plenty of other "interesting" things to do in Amsterdam besides doping out, and you don't even need to work hard to find them.
Have fun traveling ya'll.

I really mean all the homeless people that are addicted to crack, cocaine, heroine, and the like. It's one thing to take some drugs...another to walk around begging everyone for their money and not leaving them alone after they politely say no. Seriously, it's not that it's totally unsafe, but you have to be more on guard in these areas. I doubt some pothead is going to try and pickpocket or rob you. Odds are the pothead is going to be too busy trying to find something to eat.

and props on the comeback. clever.

Well, I know how you can get to Amsterdam for FREE!
Join the Navy and get stationed on the east coast! That's how I got to visit Amsterdam! And no drugs for me (although a couple guys got kicked out shortly after our trip for popping + on their piss test). Last time I was there 50 guilders got you ~ 15 minutes of luvin ! Some of the best money i've ever spent! Ahh, to be 22 again...
