Hello...forgive the English only here! I'm going to be doing the usual holiday trip with my Dutch wife and kids to Geldrop this year. I'm wondering if there are any Dutch Rennlist members in the area??

It was a bit challenging getting to western europe today. Seems like a little snow slows everything down in a very big way. I waited 2 hours for my luggage at Brussels airport. Good to be back here though. I always enjoy Holland. Just finished a nice french fry special with onion, curry and mayo. Love it! Time for a nice Leffe dubbel.

How was the weather

Yeah.....not too good at all! We were lucky to get into Brussels on Thursday the 23rd. I think the airport was closed part of Friday and Saturday. We had a good time as always seeing family. I will say you guys in holland spend incredible amounts of money on new years fireworks. The fireworks in geldrop were bigger than our July 4th celebration. And the fireworks went on for at least an hour. Great fun!

Well there are some idiots who spent more than 500euro on fireworks

I think I read where as a whole the country spent something like 60 million euro in fireworks. I have to say, as a visitor, I really enjoyed watching it. Kind of unbelievable. On the other that's a lot of money that goes poof in a short time. What part of Holland do you live?

Groningen, so up north. But i never spent money on fireworks, just love to look at it, i have a appartment at 60 meters in the air with a few over the city, its just stunning
