On my way back thru Dutch customs, I was told that I was over the amount of time I can stay in The Netherlands as an American citizen...and that I should be denied entry and deported (!!!!!!).

Now, as it turned out, the guy who was doing this was calculating the time AWAY from Holland that I have spent, not the time here...WHEW!!!!

"You can always tell a Dutchman, but you can't tell him much"....ROFLMAO!

Dutch hugs, Kathi

    If I wasn't in a good mood, just having had a great day with my CSN buds (lol), I would have made the troubles in Egypt look like a walk in the park.....ROFLMAO!

    It's all good....even surprised myself at how cool I was...
