Hostels fill up fast, cheap airfare is usually obtainable a couple weeks (or months out) .. oh ... and for a cheap hotel lastminute.com. and if you're flying from anywhere in europe or the uk easyjet.com is what i used.

i hope that makes sense .... i'm a bit scatter brained at the moment.

so to sum up:

from London Gatwick my first weekend cost me about: $800
from London Gatwick my second weekend cost me about: $700

from the states it's going to cost me and my girl about: $3000 (travel and room only)

getting to get high legally off really good shit and walk around and experience amsterdam: Priceless.
