BUH and AMS Stays

With all the people the are going to BUH because of this fare I thought it would be nice to start a thread so people can meet up. I'm currently scheduled for Nov 19-Nov 25 in BUH, but I'm thinking about taking the train through Bulgaria to Istanbul on that trip.

My second trip is a quick turn in BUH with May 13-May 19 in AMS. I'll probably plan on a hotel in Harlem.

Thanks to FourWheels for setting up a Yahoo Calendar. This will allow people to see the Budapest as well as other stopover points that we are doing.

Am doing 3-10 Aug '07 and have booked most of the stay at JW Marriott in Bucharest.

Anyone else around then, let's get together and swap war, or travel, stories.

Alright .. I modified my reservation a bit (actually it's my second reservation and I will cancel my first one )

2/11 YYZ-AMS
2/15 AMS-OTP
2/22 OTP-BCN
2/25 BCN-YYZ

I kinda regret spending 7 days in OTP as I noticed others only have one or two days layover there. However I like the train ride idea to Bulgaria, Turkey & Moldova.

If I decide to stick with the trip, I'm in AMS from 12/10-16. Any tips on finding a decent hotel at a good price in AMS?

I'll be in BUH for Nov 17 - Nov 22. Got in just under the wire on nwa.com this morning or I would've done a quicker turnaround in BUH. Anyway, the train ride to Istanbul sounds interesting. MCRT? You and I are there roughly at the same time.

I'll be there Aug 12-18. Probably going to try to catch a flight somewhere else for at least half of that, probably 15, 16, and 17. BCN maybe. Or maybe train to some castles. No idea where I'm staying. Likely half Hilton, half hostels.

And here I thought I'm the only one who like staying at hostels on FT.

Beside it being cheap, it's a great way to meet other people when you're traveling alone.
