Welcome Judy! So many of your comments hit my funny bone - "CNBC, nuts about the stock market, and Texas wild game ranches or the zoo would do just fine," etc. etc. Sounds like my husband & me in many ways as well. My husband would be happy seeing the wild game on the ranch easily - no hassle with flights, etc., and I love investing and trying to buy that ranch! But ROAR is so much more appealing. Your Amsterdam itinerary sounds fun.
Also, we are in Houston often to visit my sister.
Betty, you've got more LCTer's near!
