I will be going as well, same ferry as Phill

Looks like I'm there - my firm has a thing on earlier in the week in Noordwijk, which is 50odd miles west of Amersfoort, so aside from accommodation, and that 50 miles I'l have it paid for.

Result - I've been meaning to get there for years.

Quite literally - Yaaayyyyy!

The boxers have their Jet2 flights booked.

Can't be bothered to drive over again. It looks like it'll be £90 to fly from Manchester so I think I'll be doing that. Much less hassle.

£69.11 return from Leeds bradford!

Which dates are you looking at? Mine was going out Friday afternoon and coming back Sunday. Any longer and it means paying for extra nights at the hotel. So you end up paying one way or another.

We're taking the early flight friday and the early flight Monday: That Chinese sounded too good to miss.
I hope that the spare ribs restaurant is back on the agenda for friday night: i'm just ruled by my stomach!

Flying back a day later is only £10 cheaper but then there's another night in the hotel to pay for.

Yep, Sunday night is always going to be a pricier flight, because it's weighed down with stag and hen parties; they know that they can fill it!
It's so bad that the airlines have people looking round the lounge for passengers unfit to fly, so that they don't have the hassle of unloading luggage after the flight has boarded.

And my firm were happy to have my return on the Sunday rather than the Friday, so I'll be there from whatever time on Friday afternoon I can get from Noordvijk to Amersfoort.

Too bad the dates conflict again with the North Sea Jazz Festival.
This year is the last year that the festival will be held in my hown tome of The Hague. The venue is only five minutes walking from my home...

I will probably be able to visit both events if I limit myself to the main event at Amersfoort, just like I did last year.

The flight tickets have now been ordered... 134 euro round trip from Oslo to Rotterdam with Transavia isn't too bad... I'm flying out on tuesday visiting a friend that lives nearby first and return on monday.
