Kinda hard not to inhale when you're in there for 20 minutes. I was on a ridealong with the Amsterdam Police It's my home city and lived there for 18 yrs

A word for the wise; go to the Red Light District if you'd like. It's an experience. Daytime is fine but it can get "uncomfortable" at night (stay in a group) and never take a picture of the girls behind the windows because they or their "supervisors" will chase you down and demand your film!
Take care and be safe!

A wise tip, after all those gals have Mom's and Dad's too!!
I also recommend a visit to an area like the Joordan....just to walk through the streets and soak up the atmosphere....It is more of a neighborhood and less of a tourist area. There are lovely restaurants and neighborhood bars, and the side streets are filled with residents living daily life.
Thank you all for your advise and great ideas. We will be in Amsterdam for 3 days before our cruise on Sept 2, 2006. Booked at the Hotel Grand K
right on Dam Square so we will be able to see it all.
My DH keeps saying Rembrandt is all he wants to see. I just want to see it all.
question: I can not walk very well mainly distance, is there a hop on hop off type of bus so we can ride between the sights/museums?

There sure is a hop-on/hop-off "bus", it's called a Canalbus and is a wonderful way to see the canals of Amsterdam while you get from one venue to another. At times it can require patience, as the Canal buses can fill quickly, but it is an integral part of Amsterdam!!
Enjoy Amsterdam and remember, it's okay to inhale there! !
It's about a 15 min. walk to Central Station, where trams are available to go most anywhere.
From Central Station, it's about another 5-10 walk to Dam Square, the center of the main historic district
Here's a good map
click on the map to enlarge it, however your computer does it. http://www.transsib.ru/Eurasia/Map/amsterdam-center.jpg
You'll see the PTA, the Passenger Terminal Amsterdam, on the center right of the enlarged map.
To the left of the PTA, you'll see Central Station. Going straight down from Central Station is the Damrak, the main street. You'll walk down that to the Dam, where you'll find yourself in the center.
