In Amsterdam!

6.5 hours later, I'm finally in Amsterdam! We're here for 3 hours before our connecting flight to Barcelona and although we haven't ruled out the idea of getting champagne at the classy looking "Bubbly" bar in the airport (it may or may not be 6am here...) I'm wanted to take the time to record a few of my observations thus far:

  1. The image in my head of what international flights were like (big comfy reclining seats, gourmet dinner, plenty of leg room...etc) yeahhh NOT like that at all. I felt like I was sitting on 5 people's laps all at the same time. Nonetheless, it got me here and for that I am thankful.
  2. It is perfectly acceptable for young high-school-age-looking boys to carry machine guns around the Amsterdam airport and joke around with them. Huh. 
  3. Besides the machine guns, this airport is amazing.

  1. Spread those wings and fly… the flight accommodations you’re talking about come in “first class” when the company you’re working for pays for them. You are well on your way. We are so proud of you and looking forward to following along your adventure with the blog. Stayed at the Regina Hotel when we were there – so I know you have Starbucks and Hard Rock nearby for a “taste of home”. Enjoy. (Aunt T)
