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

My luck, they would have
My luck, they would have bumped me to the holding area to make room for the Flying Horses in business class! I am so glad that it worked out ( again) for Hans and you!
I am glad that the stocking was a huge success; I could hear the squeals of all the way to Santa Ynez!
Glueckliches Neues Jahr! Bis Spaeter! Tschuss!

Woohoo Kathi, like Claudia,
Woohoo Kathi, like Claudia, I would have been bumped to the horse's area to make them balance out the plane. LOL. Glad you trip went smoothly. It makes a world of difference (leg room) flying first or business over coach. I am so glad your step daughter liked her stocking. I thought I heard some squeals of delight all the way to NJ. Keep us posted. And, if I don't get to post before, wishing you and Hans a very Happy and healthy New Year. Hugs, Lili0 -

I'm with the others I would be put in the hold or bumped off the plane with a sorry, dear after we have the horses. Glad you had a great flight and arrived all safe and sound. Squeals of delight are a sure sign that a gift is loved. Have a wonderful time in Holland and take lots of pictures.
