Goodbye Europe!

Wednesday, July 20, 2005:

6:15 a.m. wake-up call. Breakfast at 7:00. Leave for the airport at 7:45. We had to deal with long lines everywhere so luckily our flight time wasn't until 10:55. We flew out of Amsterdam and made a stop in London. We then flew out of London at 12:55 p.m. It was a 10 1/2 hour flight. Ray watched Million Dollar Baby, Sahara, part of Fever Pitch, Hitch, and Shameless. I watched Hitch, Sahara, Fever Pitch, and Shameless. We had to deal with a screaming devil child. That kid would not shut up and the mom was doing nothing about it! Him and his two slightly less devilish sibilings were running up and down the aisles when he wasn't screaming bloody mary. Ugh! I thought that maybe flying made him nervous but noooooooo, he was screaming like a madman in customs too!

Chak, Ray's bro-in-law, was nice enough to pick us up when we landed at 3:45 p.m. even though we accidentally told them we were getting back on Thursday NOT Wednesday. We got back to my house around 7 p.m. and made it our goal to not sleep until at least 9 so we got some McDonald's, threw the ball around, and watched CSI. By 8:30 we were total zombies but we made it to 9 and totally crashed! And that folks is the end of our 2005 European adventures!
