Trip planning

Work has been quite busy which has left me know time for posting. We are finally starting to ease up and so in any spare time that I have, I have been thinking about vacation. Maybe not a true long vacation but a 6 day getaway to Europe to visit a lovely place that Scott, my brother and I visited in Dec 2008. We loved the town so much that we said right then and there that we would be back the following year. You how those things go sometimes right? Well if you do then you know we didn't make it there since we were back in the US and getting settled in with jobs, family, house, etc. We are though, two years later, going back to Bruges for the Christmas Market.

We are planning a short getaway with a stop in Amsterdam for a night and a stop in Brussels for a night and the remaining 3 nights will be in Bruges. The plan is that we will start in Amsterdam on an arrival morning and spend the night and then leave on a train in the afternoon for Brussels. Spend the night in Brussels and head to Buges in the afternoon the next day.

It is a short trip but we are looking forward to it, even in May. I am in the process of hotel hunting in Bruges, Brussels and Amsterdam and have a few narrowed down but not entirely done. Looking for suggestions of restaurants, hotels, etc if anyone wants to share!

In Amsterdam, we stayed here:

We loved it, very nice and clean, great location.

In Brussels, we stayed here:

Very nice, but not central which is what you'd probably want.

In Bruges, we stayed here:

It was perfect and so cheap!

Have fun! x
