Daar Gaan We!

October 5, 2017

Daar gaan we (off we go) on our whirlwind Dutch adventure! We don't have a lot of time but we fully intend to make the most of it. First and foremost, it's an opportunity to lay eyes on Baby Girl during her four months living in the Netherlands, but also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit a country that we probably wouldn't have otherwise. 

Our flight left at the somewhat "inconvenient" time of 5:20pm. Meaning that while we arrive in Amsterdam at 7am, it's actually 1am EST - so not a lot of sleep opportunity. Regardless, the five of us: Tony, Billy, Spring Flower, Flying Sparrow, and I were determined to make the best of it. Also helping was United's free service of beer and wine. Regardless, it's hard to convince yourself to try to sleep at about 7:30pm, especially when there are literally hundreds of entertainment options a foot from my face. Nevertheless, we did our best to get a few winks before our all-too-soon arrival in Amsterdam. The trip was thankfully uneventful except for a landing that was someone described as "angry."
