Any tips or things to bring that I wouldn't know about having never been out of the US? I've got Euro travellers checks and cash. I've got plug adapters and a step down transformer for the things I want to plug in.

My wife and I will be staying at the Grand Barbizon in Amsterdam for a week of debauchery. To be honest, I don't know much else about the city besides the coffeeshops. What should we see? What's cool? What's interesting? I don't want to rely on only the guide books and end up at the same places as every other tourist. What would a local tell us to see?
