Amsterdam birthday travel plan thwarted
Well my birthday trip to Amsterdam got canceled. My wife needs to work and she doesn't want me to go alone. I wish I could see Amsterdam and spend my birthday with friends there but I'll have more chances for both - just not a chance to do both at the same time.
I did want to share what my friends are up to though. Apparently they found a 3 story townhouse for 675 euros plus tax. That's for 3 nights and since they'll be splitting it 5 ways or so in ends up being quite reasonable.
Naturally, trying to look at the bright side, it's money I won't be spending. Airfare would have run about $1200-$1300 each so it was never going to be a cheap birthday. Until now...
The location of the rental is supposed to be good, on the oldest street in Amsterdam (apparently this is near the redlight district).

your wife sounds pretty selfish
