Mary Ellen’s Europe trip continues! In this Midweek Mini, we dive into the first half of her family’s adventures in Amsterdam. From late-night train arrivals to Hyatt stays with Club Access, to Dutch chocolate surprises and the reality of navigating Amsterdam’s overwhelming bike culture—this one has plenty of laughs and lessons.

We chat about the Hyatt Regency Amsterdam and how points strategy paired with club access made the stay smoother for the kids. Mary Ellen shares what it was really like trying to bike through downtown Amsterdam compared to the calm of Vondelpark, and why Amsterdam’s reputation as a biking paradise can feel very different when you’ve got children in tow.
