The reason I mentioned that was a couple we are friends with took one of those Scandaavian cruises about a month ago. We were at dinner prior and she told us the itinerary which included the Netherlands but was disappointed they were not going to Holland. What makes it even more humorous is that she is a secondary school teacher in American History. You can't make that stuff up:)

The funny thing is, you can easily go to the Netherlands and not go to Holland. Everytime I go (mostly to Groningen) I'm not going to Holland.

A lot of those nice beach places in Frisenland aren't Holland either...

It would only be bizarre if they would visit such places as Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Delft or Leiden and then commiserate they did not go to Holland...

Their port was Amsterdam, so i told them to look for wooden shoes and then they'll know they are in Holland.

Zapped into the bizarro realm...

Hopefully her American History student never ask her about anything but American History!
