Fellow travelers Heart of Belgium and Holland April 15

I am traveling solo on the Heart of Belgium and Holland tour starting on April 15th. I will be staying in Brussels the night of April 14th. I would enjoy connecting with fellow tour members prior to the tour.
Thanks - Suzanne

I see that you have not received any responses on this thread. That is no surprise because I have been on 3 RS tours and each one only a few knew about this forum. One of the tours no one looked at this. We are doing this tour but we are on the one that starts 4/29/17 (just 2 weeks after yours). We are excited. Hopefully moving this up to the top again someone will see it.

Hallo Suzanne,

I'll be on this tour, that date, with you. But I'll be coming from the north (not starting from Brussels) because I've been there before.

Carole is right- it seems rare that many of the tour group members are following the forum boards so you might not have too many replies.

If you have any questions or want to discuss, feel free to use the PM (personal message) feature (click on highlighted name and it takes you to my profile, and gives you option to send a PM).
looking forward to our travels !
Stine (as in Christine)

Carole and Stine: Thank you both for replies explaining why there were no responses to my topic. I look forward to the tour and seeing the beautiful Keukenhof gardens. Safe travels to both of you. Suzanne

Christine - I answered your PM a few minutes ago.

I am not on your trip, but I was on it last year April 27- May 7, 2016. Y'all will have a great time. I am jealous, I would go back in a heart beat. We were there after the bombing and only had 18 tourmates. It was a great trip, my second RS tour. Enjoy those beautiful tulips. I just now got my pictures printed yesterday, lol. Gotta get my scrapbook done.

We had Hans for our tour guide! He was so much fun, funny, and great.

Enjoy!

Kim

thank you Kim! I just saw your PM answer to my question before I saw this post.
I'm looking forward to meeting Suzanne.

Flowers! Art! Walking! History (stories)! and a dutch word: "uitwaaien"
it means "to take a break and walk away from the demands of life to clear one's head."

Hi, Suzanne and Stine -- My husband, Joe, and I will be on the B&H tour beginning April 15, but staying in Ghent the night before the tour begins. Looking forward to meeting you both!

Greetings to fellow travelers on the April 15 Belgium/Netherlands trip! Phil and I
are flying into Brussels on April 13 and taking a train to Ghent. Will be staying at Hotel Harmony
before the tour begins. I have been reading about the various art treasures we will be seeing. The Getty website on the Ghent Altarpiece is fantastic! We are knee deep in snow here in Maine and buying tulips at the grocery store to remind us of our upcoming adventure. See you soon! Cindy and Phil

To Stine, Alison, Joe, Cindy and Phil,
I am looking forward to meeting all of you in Ghent on the 14th of April. I just signed up for a newsletter called Tulips in Holland. It includes information on the tulips and when they are starting to bloom. I hope we will be at the gardens when the tulips are in full bloom and gorgeous. See you soon
Suzanne
