We're here!

 The trip over look a bit longer then expected: 14 hours total of waiting in airports and in the air. When we arrived in Lexington, our flight was delayed to Detroit. The delay would have caused us to miss our connection to Amsterdam, so we were re-routed to Atlanta. However, in Atlanta, we had a 3 hour lay over! We spent the time power walking the terminal, eating McD's fries, and reading.

 We finally boarded our plane to Amsterdam around 11 pm. The plane was completely full, and JR and I sat in the second to last row. Shortly after take off, "dinner" was served. I was really confused on why I needed a 4th meal a little after midnight. JR explained that we would not eat again for about 5 hours, so I decided to eat.

 After being offered either a pasta or chicken dish, I went with the chicken (JR assured me it was the better choice). However, I think the chicken was more like mystery meat, so I ate my salad, grits, cheese, and roll. Of course there was dessert too- cookie brownie bars, yum!

  Once 4th meal had been discarded, I decided to sleep. I slept okay, but kept waking up because my legs were too long to fit under the seat below me nicely (next time we have to fly business or 1st class!!!). After about 4 hours of sleep, I woke up for the day. Shortly after, breakfast was served, I watched part of a Harry Potter movie, and we were on the ground in Amsterdam!

 Fenny Pama and A.J. picked us up and drove us to Den Helder. After a delicious meal, Fenny drove us to Bolsward, where we will be staying the next 6 weeks. Now it's late, and we are off to bed. Big day of exploring is set for tomorrow.
