July 6 - On The Plane


Vacation – yeah – Doctor Oz said today that vacations are one of the most important ways to alleviate stress.  It is a must for people to get away and relax…he recommended a month in Tuscany, but I think 2 weeks in Europe will do for now!

The plane is half empty so there is actually room for us to stretch out and relax; Oliver is happy for the extra legroom.  We can’t understand how people would not take better advantage of the half price tickets …I realize it’s a charter, but it’s still a great way to go.
Anyways, on the plane they don’t have individual televisions, but rather these awesome personal players that cost 10 euros each.  The girls got one to share and had a great time watching Looney Tunes.  Would you believe there was an episode of Bugs Bunny and Carmen?  I can’t believe the coincidence.  It’s like they knew we were coming!

While waiting for the flight at the airport the girls and I giggled as we went to the bathroom and saw signs on each cubicle advertising Free Wifi Everywhere.  We were shocked to think people might work on the computers while in the bathroom!  I guess we shouldn’t be surprised by anything nowadays!

We managed to book a hotel in Amsterdam via Hotwire - it’s a Golf and Country club on the outskirts of the city.  We tried to order an early check in time, but their mailbox was full so we’ll do our best to get some much needed shut eye when we arrive.
