jamikins, I certainly like how you stick up for your fodor friends but I think mslimit was referring to her "gang" of birthday celebrating friends.
ms, someone in your group really must want to visit Amsterdam but I hope you are able to convince them that your stay is too short to do justice to three cities. It's your birthday--pull rank on them LOL I know it's no fun to work with a budget but jamikins and janisj make great sense dropping Amsterdam from this trip. Paris is a fantastic city to explore with girlfriends--you won't want to leave.
If the apartment doesn't work out there is a hotel in the 5th www.hotelhomelatinparis.com that has a double bed apartment as well as the usual double rooms. The location is a good one for nightlife and close to metro/RER Saint Michel/Notre Dame Have fun planning your trip. Deborah

LOL Now Mslimit you just talk those friends of yours into hanging with you in Paris--I know you will be able to plan a very memorable trip for all. Deborah

and most importantly night life!>
Well Amsterdam's coffeeshops where they legally sell cannabis to anyone over 18 (21?) are still swinging - check out hopping places like the Bulldog Palace and other coffeeshops that are popular with young folk - one of the great meeting places in Europe - younger folk from all over the world and you do not have to smoke pot to enjoy this type of place it seems you may be looking for.

LOL...let me just express how HAPPY I have to have found this site - amazing. My group is insisting on Amsterdam, we are Jamaicans *hint* *hint* so I suggested just 1 night there? Please tell me if I am wayyy off. We could leave Paris to Amsterdam, hotel, red light district and the weed places (they are insisting) hahahahaha
@Jamikins gonna wrap our heads or mine around the Ferry idea, I like it alot...Our parents bought all our airfare so we should be able to add to our budget imo too...what do you think? u did say 243 for your trip per couple right? so we will couple up!!!

Late to the party here but agree with and would emphasize the following:
Boat tour on the Seine is a great, cheap thrill.
Big fan of the left bank, Latin Quarter but you also could look in other areas if you find a cheap room. Stay close to the center, though.
www.VacationsinParis.com (VIP) is a great site and folks are great to deal with. Just stayed in a fantastic apartment for 4 near Rue Buci. Great location! Their system of coordinating with you works very well.
www.4inEurope.com lists quad rooms in all areas and price ranges and I think it is fantastic for finding hotels. It has London covered and may have Amsterdam too... not sure.
