Flying

I didn’t realize how long we’d be in the air until we boarded the plane in Charlotte for the first leg of our trip. When I sat down and took a good look at my boarding pass I was taken aback! We left this afternoon (Friday) and we won’t get to Kenya until 7:30pm Saturday night. Then we have to get up and go to church on Sunday! Sheesh!
Anyhow, I’m really posting to share our crazy trip itinerary:

Charlotte to Detroit

Detroit to Amsterdam

Amsterdam to Kenya

The first leg was a breeze…one hour flight…a cinch. We left Detroit at 4:00pm to arrive in Amsterdam at 6:00am. My sleeping patterns are going to be all messed up.

The flight to Amersterdam probably one of the best international flights I’ve ever been on! Only because I was so entertained! Everyone had their own personal TV in the headrest in front of them. I’m used to that. What I’m not used to is having all of these options. Northwest has these personal remotes in the armrest for each passenger to control their own TV. There are tons of movies to watch, games to play, and great music to listen to, all free of charge!

After I played every single game, I started watching movies. I re-watched one of my favorite independent films, Phonebooth. All star cast, low budget, a must-see movie! Next I watched a movie that I’ve wanted to see since I heard about it but I just haven’t had the time. The Other Boleyn Girl, is the tale of Henry VIII and the demise of the Boleyn family. May I recommend it to anyone that may be reading this! It’s so good!

After the crew served us our breakfast (egg and cheese biscuit and a fruit cup), I nodded off while watching Harrison Ford in Presumed Innocent. Next thing I knew, we were in Amsterdam!
