We spent a couple of hours in the Amsterdam airport. We had coffee or tea and cookies at a cafe there. We had to say goodbye to Russ and Mary1 there because they were on a flight 2 hours later than ours for the second leg.
Then it was back on a plane for 9 more hours to Minneapolis. Impossible to sleep because they kept coming with drinks, meals, and snacks. I sat next to a Dutch man (I think) and he didn't say much either. I had to bother him twice to get up and go to the bathroom. I watched a lot of movies, played Free Cell, Sudoku, and read to pass the time. Finally we were landing on time about 12:30 pm (and no smoke this time). The lines for immigration and customs were long, but we had no problems getting through. We got our suitcases and I got my drum out of Deb's cargo bag. We took one last group photo and then we went our separate ways.
Mary2's husband was there to drive her and I home to Brandon (another 4 hours!). We stopped for a snack just outside of the Cities, but then it was non-stop home. I got home about 5:00 or so. Big hug and kisses from my husband. Oh, it's good to be home! I can go to the bathroom on a decent toilet and not be rushed. I can brush my teeth under running water. Took a shower and then had yummy meatballs for supper. Transferred some of my photos, but I got too tired and went to bed. My own soft bed again. Home!
