Howdy Howdy from Amsterdam! After a shaky start, things are looking up! Especially considering we did not get our cruise documents until 8 hours before we left home, and considering we had no transportation reserved from Schiphol to the cruise dock. We just found the grumpy lady with the sign and bummed a ride on the same bus. So, here we are! Short walk from the dock over the bridge to the new library, and now through the train station and into the city.
Flight over was great; still fly in steerage but it was a new plane and, importantly, was only just a little less than half full! Had room, access to bathrooms (important..), and was just a nice flight. Didn't sleep though so am flying (still) high on some Provigil. Right NOW in the Amsterdam public library, which is really cool, and tons of free computers w online access!
The boat is well appointed, but Susan is by far the youngest person on the boat, maybe by about half. I might be the 2nd. I'm hoping no one dies.
This afternoon (it's only 1130 here now) and we're going to do a little Amsterdam shopping on our own. We just need to be back on the boat by 6 pm, and I think that's possible unless I fall asleep somewhere.
Love to all, DAD
