Well, I guess I was destined to make it Amsterdam after all. Everything turned out to be perfect timing, and the departure went off without delay.
I got to talk for about 90 minutes with a guy from England while waiting for the departure flight. He came over for a 4 day business trip and he’s been here for 11 days. His wife has 3 little kids at home by herself and is 8 months pregnant with their 4th child. He was a cool dude, and had some amazing stories, including how his British accent got him laid 5 out of 5 nights in his first trip to the states as a 24 year old at Mardi Gras.
I got to my hostel about an hour ago, and finally got to lock one of my new bags in a locker. I've walked a lot today already so now I'm at the "dolphins" coffee shop getting some free wi-fi and partaking in the Amsterdam activities that would make a lot of people back home wish they were here too. It's pretty amazing what you can order here legally.
Below is the link to the photo album of my Amsterdam trip so far and i'll keep updating it. I think Picassa allows you to sign up for email updates when new pics are added if you're feeling ambitious. I don't find myself that interesting that i'd even want to read my blog if i was you, so i can't imagine anyone wanted to get updates of my photos, but if you do, knock yourself out. Already made some friends at the coffee shop, so i should probably stop being rude and typing (its hard to concentrate anyway) and get back to hanging out with them.

so glad you got there safe! Have fun with your new friends! keep us posted!
From the looks of the pictures you are visiting the same shops that I would frequent if I were there. Grab a bike (or streetcar) and ride for a while, you might find some great surprises.
love dad
