Worth knowing
- Atlanta (ATL) is the world's busiest airport and international flights leave from the dedicated International Terminal (Maynard H. Jackson / Concourse F). Build in extra time.
- Amsterdam is 6 hours ahead of Atlanta. Try to sleep on the plane — you land early morning and Sept 5 is a full sightseeing day.
Still to confirm
- Book the Groome shuttle from Gainesville to ATL for Sep 4 — and decide Groome parking vs. dropping off a car.
🇳🇱 The Netherlands
- Weather
- Daytime high 64–70°F · evening / night low 52–57°F.
- Note 1
- Currency: the euro (€). Amsterdam is the easiest city of the trip for cards — use a card for most purchases (restaurants, museums, hotels, shops, transit).
- Note 2
- Carry only a small amount of euro cash for tips, small cafés and markets. If you need cash, use a bank ATM; avoid the currency-exchange booths, whose rates are usually worse.
- Note 3
- Pack as for the rest of the trip: short-sleeve shirts for the day, a light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings, and comfortable walking shoes.
