YEA!!!!

You guys remember my tales of being bumped to Business Class the last 2 trips from LA to Amsterdam, right? Well, it happened again!!! We got the 'big' seats...

Seemed that there were so few business class people, and so many coach passengers, plus horses (I LOVE the idea of a flying horse...lol!) that the plane could not be balanced, so we couldn't take off till it was fixed. They tried moving luggage around, but to no avail...so, they moved we 'comfort zone' flyers to business class, the 3 business class folks to first class, and select coach people to the 'comfort zone' (more leg room, and the only place on a 747 where there are 2 seats in a row...).

The flight was great, the weather held, and when we touched down, there was sunshine welcoming us, along with patches of snow!!!

So, we are now settling in to our 'dutch' home...and I am getting a bit sleepy...We have already had our pea soup and the first bread of the visit (LOVE that bread!!!). mmmmm!

The stocking, BTW, was a GREAT success...my step daughter screamed when she saw it, and hugged me many, many times!

More later....Tot ziens!

Hugs, Kathi
