airfare cost and schedule
I am leaving from Denver, to Amsterdam. A flight for two people is $2,600 on United Airlines. On travelocity.com the price is $2,664 I found that this is overpriced so I chose Kayak. The flight will be leaving at 10:10 am and there will be a layover from here to Houston, Texas then I will get to Amsterdam, and arrive at 1:32 pm.
lodging
I will be staying at the Park Plaza Victoria Amsterdam, it has incredible concierge and incredible views. The restaurant has some of the finest foods, and good quality drinks.
It also has an indoor pool and a sauna to relax in. The landscape is amazing with calm weather and traffic isn't really a problem considering the city lies on water, and people ride in small boats such as canoes to travel around.
Activities
Van Gogh Museum
The Van Gogh Museum is located in Amsterdam, it has been there since 1963. It contains many of Van Goghs paintings and it also tells tourist who don't know his history, what he went threw in his life and about his family.
Theater Carre
This is Theater Carre, it has been used for circus acts and many different shows. It has been around since 1973, and it is also located in Amsterdam. It may still have shows going on today and it is open for tourists.
Prinsengracht Amsterdam Canal
This is the Prinsengracht Amsterdam Canal, it is a one of three canals that shapes part of the city. It was an expansion project that began in 1612, it took 50 years to build. The canals give great views of the city and it's very peaceful.
Problems to anticipate and solutions suggested
Amsterdam is known for speaking Dutch, many of the tourists that go to Amsterdam don't know how to speak it. A solution to this problem is to have a guide who have mastered both your language and dutch, they will be able to help you find buildings, read menus, signs, and communicate with people there. Another problem there is drugs. In Amsterdam marijuana is illegal, but tolerated under circumstances. Since it is illegal the people who offer you some in Amsterdam can get arrested, for this not to happen say NO to drugs, avoid people who you think seem suspicious, and just enjoy your vacation. Don't ruin your vacation just because of drugs.

Conclusion/Reflection
To conclude my trip to Amsterdam I will buy souvenirs to remember my unbelievable trip, take A LOT of pictures, and enjoy the stay at the Park Plaza Victoria Amsterdam hotel. There was so many things to do there and very little time to choose what you wanted to do.
