Amsterdam airport to boat

Land appeared before scheduled as we landed 45 minutes early in Amsterdam.  I'd been anticipating this trip since August 2014, and was absolutely nuts just hours before leaving: I mowed the lawn, cleaned the house, filled the bird feeders, as well as stocked the freezer with food for Pete and arranged for his and mom's and the animals' care.  MANY thanks to the support team of Ronda, Carole, sister Anne and all.  You guys rock! I loved seeing the wind farms in the North Sea as the plane neared Amsterdam and the red tile roofs of the Netherlands.

The ritual of de-planing, immigration, etc. etc. went smoothly and by 2:30 we were at our boat in Amsterdam's harbor.  Then...unpacking and a nap.

At our evening orientation, we met a couples from Indiana and Colorado and...I discovered the bar carried my most favorite beer--the ulitmate (in my estimation) that I'd discovered 20

years ago in the Black Forest of Germany and now can find only at Total Wine--Kostritzer!  I'm in heaven.
