We arrived in Amsterdam early this morning, after a real experience with our flight – and I mean a good one! I upgraded our status but had no idea what that meant on the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner. It was truly traveling in luxury! We were able to recline our seats to a totally horizontal position that enabled us to lie down and rest, if not sleep.

Our river boat is the Aria, pictured below. We remain in dock tonight, but embark from Amsterdam tomorrow evening for Germany.

View from dining room of a passing sightseeing boat. We are scheduled for this experience tomorrow, through Amsterdam’s many canals..

Right now we are half awake, but very much looking forward to the cruise. This is our granddaughter’s first time out of the country, and she was delighted with what little she has seen so far. She knows about Anne Frank, and we have tickets to the Anne Frank House for her and Jon, tomorrow afternoon.
Thanks for subscribing! I hope you find the pictures and commentary interesting – much more to come! It is fun to share our trip with friends.
Blessings, David
