We finally made it into our hotel room 24 hours after we walked through the doors of SeaTac Airport. Our flight from Seattle to Amsterdam was relatively easy considering it was approximately 9 hours. We had a 5 hour layover in Amsterdam, though. That was no fun at all because they will not let you into the gate area without going through security again (there is an individual screening setup for each individual gate!) and they don't open the screening area until about an hour before the flight is scheduled to leave. Once they do open the gates, it is like a cattle call and everyone who has been waiting out in the terminal rushes forward.
The one thing we learned today is that no matter how many no smoking signs are posted or how many announcements are made, Europeans smoke where they damn well please (with the exception of the airplane)....
We are going to rest now and then relax by the pool tomorrow. I'll post more then.

I can appreciate that LONG 24 hrs.
I'm glad you made it safe..I had a few questions:
* How is the weather?
* Do you have to share a bathroom?
* Does everyone speak English?
* Do they have 'Chip Clips'?
* Do the Restaurants have more
wine than Randy?
* Do you realize how much you deserve this fantastic vacation?
Love you!
Teresa
1. the weather is hot & humid, but very breezy. My hair is a frizzy mess, but I really don't think I care much!
2. Nope! We have our own equipped with a jacuzzi tub and freestanding shower!
3. English is the main language here!
