I have the hotel picked for Paris, where should I stay in Amsterdam?

I don't know why someone would need to pay for a tour.

Paris Hotel:

The Westin Paris - Vendôme
3 Rue De Castiglione, Paris 75001 FR
Phone: (33)(1) 44771111

24 hours there, and this is right in the center of everything.

Amsterdam:

Pulitzer Amsterdam
Prinsengracht 323, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, +31 (0)20 5235235

24 hours here too.

Both are 5 star. 2nd one near the RLD.

Tip 1: There is a limit to the number of space cakes you should try and eat in a days time while in Amsterdam.

Tip 2: go visit the Heineken brewery. I hate that beer but when you try it over there, it is 10000x better than one you get here. It is a fantastic drinking beer and worth a stop even for just a pint.

Oddly enough, that particular tour never made my list of "Things to do with Mom."

1 night in Paris, 1 additional night in Marrakech, and one in Amsterdam = $2,000. I definitely hit the lottery.

We do get $75/day for food as a couple.

Bring it!

What you don't have is the dates. You don't know if Paris is first or last.

I'd love to hear from you clowns when I'm on my grand tour.

Surely you don't think it would be that hard for me to find do you?

I've a sneaking suspicion that certain family members would be glad to punk big Daddy.

Speaking of grand tour, perhaps the hotels would need to know about Craig still recovering from a Diet Coke and booze habit, so be sure to empty out the mini bar, and refuse service at the hotel bars.
