One way Air tickets are $156 per person from Amsterdam and $1625 from Rotterdam to Barcelona. The 2 cities are only 1 hour from each other. We will get some kind of transportation back to Amsterdam to save the money. Crazy difference in pricing.😮 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that @Bimmer09 has used private transportation between the 2 cities. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the flights at that price are not direct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a special, exceptional talent he was. Lady Gaga was amazed that with battling Alzheimer's he introduced her by name when they did their duets. He knew! RIP Tony and sleep with the angels. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaniDanielle Posted July 21, 2023 #98757 Share Posted July 21, 2023 We saw Tony Bennet from when he was young until he was old. The best was in Vegas when he sang our wedding song as his encore. I chased him through the casino for his autograph which he graciously gave.😢 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sad today. He was an American treasure. I grew up listening to him as my parents were big fans. His voice was smooth as silk. After we lost the amazing coroners Sinatra, Martin, Davis, and Darin he was the only one left. He gave me faith that the American songbook was still alive and well. Thank goodness for Michael Buble for carrying on these great songs. We are blessed that he recorded so many great albums. His voice and legacy will live forever. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenquixote66 Posted July 21, 2023 #98762 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Monday July 24 will be my 80th.birthday.My daughters are making me a party on Sunday and have invited close to 100 people.Friends from my childhood,every school that I attended,several work friends,neighbors who became close friends,my nieces and families,nephews and families and many cousins. The reason that I am posting this today rather than tomorrow or Sunday is that several people are coming from long distances and they will be coming to my house today,tonight and tomorrow and I am not sure specifically when they will be here. The reason for such a large gathering is that 5 years ago I was critically Ill land my family made me a Celebration of Life Party. Somehow I am still around ,something totally unexpected in July 2018. My daughters have been planning my birthday party since January of this year to make sure that my long time close friends will be able to come. 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
