I'd love to meet you all.
Red, the Red light district (oldest part of Amsterdam) has some beautiful architecture and interesting history (e.g. secret churches for the catholics, from the time when the protestants oppressed the catholics all over the country - basically early 17th to late 19th century), so of course I'd give you a tour there!

If the mayor of Amsterdam gets his way, many if not most of the brothels will be closed. Several have recently been replaced by fashion designers studios, to make it a cleaner, more upscale environment (to attract a different kind of tourists).
I don't want to leave anyone out of my list, but most of all I'd like to meet:
- all the childfree folks - because they're the reason why I joined CF in the first place, it's still my favourite forum, and we have a lot in common
- all catlovers (including the person who called me an ailurophile the other day - man, that made my day - I'd never hear anyone use that word before besides myself

), some of whom I mostly see in OBOB rather than here
- a lot of other folks at OBOB, and Susan, MikeK's calico cat
- TankGirl
- Xinnamon
- Redguard
- HeatherJay (I miss her)
- little owl
- ElsanRandiMom
- plum
- Lynn
- SOTFB
- Judy
- Athene
- JulySheMustFly
- Tropical Wilds
- sparassidae
- robinsegg
- overit
- mina
and lots of others; this list is long already.
I haven't met anyone yet, but I am looking forward to meeting Pogue next academic year (she'll move to the Netherlands for her studies).
