Well here I am.  Finally on my way to Scooby!  Aside from a screaming baby, one row ahead of me, everything has been great.  I am actually flying with an old co-worker and her husband, by fluke.  They are sitting one seat away from me. I am sitting beside a very nice lady who isn’t talking my ear off :) She is flying to Bombay for her sisters wedding.  Right now, I am hungry and I miss Tim and the doggies already.  I have already made my first phone call home and that was before I even boarded the plane.

9:50 PM – Middle of the Atlantic

I’m tired.  The food was okay but now everyone wants a bathroom break and I am sitting in an aisle seat.  Up. Down. Up. Down.  Three hours to go until we arrive in Amsterdam.  All I keep thinking about are the dogs at Scooby.  It’s the middle of the night there and it must be cold.  Thank God I have a heavy suitcase, full of coats and collars of course!

7:50 AM – Amsterdam

Wow!  The airport here, called Schiphol, is huge and super.  You really can buy everything here.  Although, I never understood why someone would buy a TV at the airport!?

I have had a couple of hours of sleep.  They constantly fed us on the flight.  I board in about 1 hour.  I need to review my notes on how to get to Scooby once I land in Madrid.
