This picture of the day is all my nieces idea! She wanted to express her frustration with traveling yesteday. She went from having a massage to the crazy world of dealing with cancelled flight and airline staff that was not helpful at times. At one point, potentially we were not going to get to Amsterdam at all!

Travel on Wenesday was totally crazy.

First, they shut down the Pittsburgh airspace to practice for an air show! So this was delay 1 and led to a fatal delay.
Second, thunderstorm meant that our flight from Pittsbugh to Philadephia was delayed to an arrival time post
when our flight for Amsterdam would leave. My favorite line of the day, "We can get you to Amsterdam on Monday - maybe..oh.. I guess you are out of luck."

Quick thinking on the spot and help from David Dosa - found a South West Flight that would get me to Philadelphia about 45 minutes prior to the next flight to Amsterdam. On the spot, bough a ticket. We made it with 1/2 hour spare. Our luggage is due tommorrow.

Than.. Equipment failure, change to 757 with total chaos of seat reassignment. Wrong galley - spent an hour on the ground while they tried to repackage the galley.

Than.. we were number 30th in line for take off.

It was all worth it to me. We had a great day in Amsterdam. I am so pround of my neice. She is such a trooper. Furthermore, she is a creative and special soul BTW, Happy Birthday - She turned 18 this week!

Life is good.

Day 1 - We had an Indonesia food for lunch, spectacular meal with wonderful vegetables and tofu. Took a canal boat ride and stopped at the flea market where my neice purchases some cheap, but great clothing. Ended the day walking to the I am Amsterdam sign. Wondeful day!
