I think the easiest in and out route with the miles will be Amsterdam and Paris.

April 30th is Koningsdag (King’s Day)

Kings Day??? We lived in the Netherlands for a few years, back when it was Queen’s Day. But I guess Beatrix has abdicated the throne.

Yes, Amsterdam to Paris is a logical & easy to do itinerary. The Thalys maglev train does that route. That’s the train line that Spencer Stone heroically beat the crap out of that poor-excuse for a terrorist.

Keukenhof garden is very beautiful, but I think the blooming farmers’ fields of tulips are more jaw-dropping because of the mega-expanse of it all-- plus viewing the farmers’ fields is free.

I wouldn’t spend a lot of time in Brussels. After you’ve seen the Mannekinpis and eaten mussels at Leon’s on Rue des Bouchers, you’re done (good thing @Xiggi quit CC or else there’d be a fight about Brussels).

Make sure when u depart CDG that u allow a GENEROUS amount of time for check in. That’s got to be the most dysfunctional 1st World airport there is.
