All year, I planned to take my vacation in Amsterdam/Belgium and now that time has arrived. To get me started for this elaborate vacation, I was invited to the Menchaca's double birthday party in Stockton. They had make-your-own burrito buffet set out, they had a live mariachi band and they had an Elvis Presley impersonator. When the Elvis impersonator left the building, then they started playing good dancing music and one of the songs was "Let's Get it Started" by the Black Eyed Peas. When this song played, I knew I was ready for Amsterdam! Everyone at the party did a 'soul train' and I had visions of Amsterdam in my mind!
My Adventures in Amsterdam and Belgium

wealth of information and his patience in taking my questions.
On my last day in Amsterdam, I just walked around and saw more of the sights. It was a lovely warm day, crystal blue skies. I had a delicious Mexican dinner with margaritas at Guadalupe Mexicaans (that's how they spell it) Restaurant. I had Skye Anita from Holland show me around, she thought I was lost for some reason and she had nothing to do, so she showed me some of her favorite areas. I didn't want to break her heart, but I had already seen the places that she was pointing out to me. Skye Anita is 35 years old and had an adventurous life, where she worked on a ship outside of Thailand for a while, now she is back in Holland with her family. I also met Jessica Maria from Barcelona, Spain who now lives in Amsterdam and we had a great discussion about Madrid and Barcelona. After she described Barcelona to me, I was very disappointed that I never visited Barcelona and had stayed in Madrid. Well, maybe next time.... The last person I met on my travels back home was Carol Anne Carroll of Writing and Beyond, who talked about her travels and of all things, her writing. Yes, she is a writer and has recently started writing fiction. Bless United Airlines, they provided me with some more movies, movies I haven't seen like: American Gun, Cars, Monster House, My Super Ex-Girlfriend, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Over the Hedge.
The food on United Airlines is great and the provide you with lots of fluids and snacks! You won't go hungry on United Airlines! Now let me tell you why I love traveling. To see a different country, to be exposed to a new culture, to meet new and interesting people, to feel and enjoy life. This is what traveling is all about! Until my next adventure!
