Good news/Bad news

The good news for all of you travel fans is that you'll have me back in your midst sooner than I thought. Instead of coming back next Friday the 30th, I'll be coming home on the 26th instead. Why would I come back sooner and skip beautiful Paris? Because I'm getting tired and homesick, and while I'm much better now, the stomach thing really wiped me out. I'd like to get home to my own bed (no snoring roommate), my own shower (consistent water pressure and temperature), and my normal clothes (i.e. anything other than the shoes I brought with me). Besides, that means that I can then get my pictures online sooner, and get my little travel adventure stories put together with the pics.

The bad news is that there will be fewer updates from the road (although blogging stoned may be entertaining for the masses). The really bad news is that I need to beg a ride home from SFO. My flight gets into SFO at 1:55PM on Sept. 26 (Monday).

Ok, with that bit of business out of the way, I'm here in Amsterdam. I have not yet done anything other than drop my stuff off at my hotel (can't get into the room til after 2:00 local time), and come here to check email. I'm going to go back to the hotel, leave a note for Meta (which was my only reason for checking email now), going in search of lunch and an English language bookstore. After lunch will wander around taking pictures (this place is insanely cute - even in a trip filled with insanely cute places). Will find a nice coffeeshop in which to ensconce myself, and will hang out there til Meta shows up. Then we shall see what hilarity will ensue (I'm pretty sure that the Sex Museum, and a tour of the redlight district will be part of the itinerary.)
