The flight ----first day

No problem boarding the plane in Pittsburgh, arrived in Chicago about 2:30 ,and waited till 5:30pm to board the next plane:(.
All went well and we took off with no problems and on time.
I got to see Lake Erie in it's entirely!! Saw Point Pelee and Pelee Island, also saw Long Point were we use to camp in the summer. Really great to see it from the air. It did get dark really quickly and clouded over for awhile. We flew right over our house but didn't figure that out until the clouds cleared enough to see Montreal all lit up. Could even see Mount Royal and the St. Lawrence River.
We got to see the Gaspe Peninsular and PEI . I really wanted to see the eastern coast of Canada and when we flew over Newfoundland I got to see the southern shore and the far eastern shore line--Really Great!!:-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
The cloud cover came in and with only the Atlantic Ocean below not much to see.........except right out my window there was the Big Dipper the only constellation I can pick out.....something to work on now I am retired!!
So in total we traveled 6630 km averaged an air speed of 1000km/hr with an altitude of 34,000 ft.
When the shores of Wales came into sight it was wonderful.. 6 hours sitting with 1 1/2 left. We flew over England not seeing much because of the clouds, and landed in the Netherlands on time and even better our luggage arrived with us!!
So first day of holidays over and happy about that...not looking forwarded to the flight home.
We dropped our luggage at the hotel and walked around the city--lots of old buildings and cobbled stoned streets.
Bicycles all over the place and roadways just for bikes.
Krysta we found your cookies and have them safety stored away for you.:-) :-) :-) :-)
Came back to the hotel and crashed for a few hours. We booked a dinner cruise tonight so we'll cruise the canals for 2 hours and have supper so that will be the end of day 1 in the Netherlands.
