Amsterdam……finally

The trip of a lifetime is finally happening. I flew to Seattle from Arizona on Wednesday the 30thof March. Thursday the 31th my daughter, Jennifer, and I got to the airport the requested 3 hours ahead of the flight departure with all the required forms filled out. We were checked in and on our way to the Delta Sky Club in 45 minutes!!! So a few hours of people watching and a glass of wine for me.

Delta non-stop flight from Seattle to Amsterdam departed approximately 5:35pm. Flying first class is a real experience.

A very long, 9+ hour flight, not much sleep, a 3 course dinner with real silverware, real plates and glasses, and a chocolate dessert. A breakfast of egg frittata, fresh fruit, coffee and sweet roll and soon we were landing.

Here it the 2nd course, fresh roll, small salad, ranch dressing, and celery soup with white wine.

Our transfer to the Amsterdam Hilton went smooth. Room was ready. There was a short group meeting about the museum tour for the next day.

Jennifer and I headed out for a walk. It was cold 40’s and windy. Bicycles everywhere. We found a local deli and brought sandwiches back to our room.

Very tired we tried to sleep…..more soon.
