Finalizing Plans - Landal Dunimar&Landal Landgoed 't Loo


SO EXCITING! This trip to Holland is coming together nicely! The plane tickets are booked and now the places we're staying at have gotten finalized as well! The plan is to stay in two different places - both a cottage setting. For the first half of the week we will be at Landal Landgoed 't Loo, which is closer to the family we will be visiting. Both places look gorgeous; I could probably sit here all day looking at pictures, but I should probably be more productive than that! Here's some pics of the first place (which are limited because this is all I could find! More pictures to follow when I can take pictures there myself)!

The second place is called Landal Dunimar and it's closer to Amsterdam! Soo the second half of the week will be used to explore Amsterdam to its fullest! I cannot wait to be there!

We still have some planning to do (figuring out what exactly we'll be doing each day), and of course there's the whole 2 months left of school that I have to get through BUT we're getting there! Countdown check: 61 DAYS!

EXCITEMENT!

I am soooo excited! My family just planned and booked our vacation for this year - and it's a BIG change from the past years. Normally we go to a cottage about 12 hours away from Sarnia in the little town of Elk Lake. Don't get me wrong I love going up there, but it's nice to have a change every now and then. This years trip is especially exciting, wait for it.. we're going to AMSTERDAM! I still cannot believe that we are actually going! I few days ago I tweeted that I was looking up flights just for fun, but somehow we convinced everyone to just go for it! I cannot wait, and I also can't express my level of excitement through the computer but you get the idea! Now comes the fun part, planning what we will be doing each day, as well as the places we're going to stay at. Some things that are on my list include the Anne Frank House, the Red Light District and perhaps seeing the Royal Palace! One of the other things that we will being doing for sure is visiting relatives there and seeing where my grandparents are from. I'm sorry if this blog gets super annoying with facts and things about Holland, but from now until I leave I'll probably talk about it, A LOT! I'll also keep you updated about our travel plans and arrangements as it gets closer to the date!
See you in 66 days! (not that I'm counting..)
Eeeeeek, did I mention how excited I am!? Can't wait to post the pictures that I take!
AND we're going during Tulip season! How lucky am I!?
Now only if I could hop on the place tomorrow instead of after all of my exams, assignments etc.. Oh well, I guess you can't get everything!
