Safely Arrived

It has been two days since we arrived, so I should talk about the trip while it is still relevant.

All in all it was a pretty smooth trip. The Amsterdam to Minneapolis leg was in a new Airbus A330. The seats were nice and wide, lots of leg room and each seat had a flat screen in the headrest of the seat in front. With the flat screen we had things like video on demand, etc. The kids watched cartoons and napped.

Immigration was also painless. We were advised to expect a wait of anything up to 2 hours. We waited 10 minutes.

The whole trip took 16 hours. Throw in the 6 hour time difference, and it all made for a long day.
