2014 Netherlands and Belgium

Early April trip to the Netherlands and Belgium was through AHI / K-State. It had been a warm winter and the bulbs were coming out - especially the daffodils and hyacinths. As per usual AHI practice, there were numerous lectures but no "meet the people" sessions. Food aboard the Austrian-based Amadeus Silver (new in 2013) was fabulous as was the waitstaff. The only change we would make is to come early to see the museums in Amsterdam. Great trip.
