Alles wat je nodig hebt is in het huisje aanwezig. Fijn was bijvoorbeeld dat er niet alleen een magnetron was maar dat het ook een oven is. Wat een extra pluspunt is, is de hittecabine die in het huisje aanwezig is, heerlijk!! We 'moesten' op de vertrek dag vroeg weg omdat Wendy school had die om 9 uur begon. Dat was geen punt en gelukkig konden we zondagmiddag vast gedag zeggen. ##### Noorderijk ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Aloft San Francisco Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Aloft-San-Francisco-Airport.h13950.Hotel-Information) > > [Barceló Maya Colonial - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Xpu-Ha-Hotels-Barcelo-Maya-Colonial-All-Inclusive.h1348113.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Salmon Arm](https://www.expedia.ca/Salmon-Arm-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-Suites-By-Marriott.h57964334.Hotel-Information) > > [Rundlestone Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Hotels-Rundlestone-Lodge.h858739.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Hotels in Durham Region](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Durham-Region-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d3000651856-tLuxuryHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Minneapolis Marriott City Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Minneapolis-Marriott-City-Center.h1682.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Griffintown](https://www.expedia.ca/Griffintown-Montreal-Hotels.0-n553248635976398572-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Indigo - NYC Downtown - Wall Street by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-Indigo-NYC-Downtown-Wall-Street.h71756627.Hotel-Information) > > [Montrose at Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Montrose-West-Hollywood.h17594.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtels Gouverneur Montréal - Île Charron](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Hotels-Gouverneur-Montreal-Ile-Charron.h40669.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Orchard Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Orchard-Park-Hotels.d6047844.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Bangkok](https://www.expedia.ca/Bangkok-Hotels.d178236.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Apotek Hotel by Keahotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Reykjavik-Hotels-Apotek-Hotel-By-Keahotels.h8696988.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Miami (MIA) to Edmonton (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mia/yeg/miami-to-edmonton) > > [Flights from Mumbai (BOM) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bom/yyz/mumbai-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Pearson Intl. to NYC-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/nyc/toronto-to-new-york) > > [Flights from Bangor (BGR) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bgr/lax/bangor-to-los-angeles) > > [Flights from Cranbrook (YXC) to Castlegar (YCG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxc/ycg/cranbrook-to-castlegar) > > [Flights from Saskatoon (YXE) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxe/lax/saskatoon-to-los-angeles) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Porto (OPO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/opo/ottawa-to-porto) > > [Flights from Regina (YQR) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqr/yyz/regina-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Austin (AUS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/aus/toronto-to-austin) ### Cruise > [Holland Cruises](https://www.expedia.ca/Holland-America-Line.cHA.Cruise-Line-Info) ### Activities > [Things to do in Thousand Palms](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Thousand-Palms.d180675.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [all inclusive vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations) > > [Peru Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Peru.d144.Destination-Travel-Guides)
