And so it begins.....

It is 11:53 AM Eastern Time on Sunday June 25 and we are currently sitting in the United Club at Newark (EWR) airport for our flight to Amsterdam.  We got up this morning about 3:45 Central Time and then had David Dippel drive us to the airport.   After a smooth three hours, we've arrived!   The United Club here is very nice as Sarah and Abby sample the cheese and drink Shirley Temples from the bar.  It must be rough.   That's all for now.  On to a seven hour layover.....
