I used to work for a company just outside of Holland in the 90s, and Holland was MUCH more dry and religious then. I recall some of my associates who transferred up to the company would get dirty looks from their neighbors if they did chores on Sunday.

Now Holland is home to a number of breweries & good ones at that.

In Holland yes! In Zeeland no.

And since the get-together is on a Monday, no worry about stares from anyone

Cheers.

Willie, thanks for the invite, but as it's a weekday, I'll be out of town!

c'est la vie ! I suspect there will be a Fall Flyertalk dinner/drink gathering in the Holland/Grand Haven/Grand Rapids area, and this time on a weekend night, so folks that travel can make it.

Would definitely do it if I weren't interning in San Diego for the summer.

Still looking forward though to one in Kalamazoo/GR if possible in September-December if it ever pans out though!

I live in Kalamazoo, and use to commute to Holland daily...for the past three weeks. Until I was let go from my (new) job. I could go, but it all depends on how I feel financially that week.

I just got let go today, and I am pretty bummed about the situation. I will keep you posted.

Haven't decided yet on where we'll be going. Depends on weather, # of people, etc.

There are only 2 iDine places in Holland, but luckily one of them the Curraugh Irish pub (www.curraughholland.com) is directly across from New Holland Brewing Co

Cheers.

in my book, good food wins over miles (as I'm sure you can imagine) So unique to Holland dining that is good is what I'd be gunning for.
