On arrivals, ankles and Amsterdam

Getting over to Europe with this much luggage is no easy task, but on Saturday morning at 6:00 am we arrived safely (and with all of this luggage) in Amsterdam. We had a good flight, and even arrived an hour early, but we didn’t sleep at all, and I stepped off the plane with some VERY swollen ankles. I was sure someone had switched my shoes during the flight, since I could barely squeeze my puffy feet into my shoes! We were met promptly by our driver who managed to fit us and all of our stuff into his Mercedes van and get us to the ship before 8 am. Once there, we were able to get on board fairly quickly, and were eager to see our room conditions. Another surprise awaited us as we entered our lovely, spacious room with a great big window and lots of storage. The ship itself is quite a bit smaller than others we have been on, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in class. Think Parisian hotel, and you’ve pretty much captured the look. Once aboard we found out from the cruise director that we would be on the next night, and that we should likely rehearse the day we arrived since the show room was booked almost the whole day on our performance day. So, after a few hours of sleep, we headed down for rehearsal and we were ready to go. Our first dinner in the Terrace Cafe was simply a delight with gorgeous food, and service that rivals any high-end restaurant. We are really being spoiled when it comes to being served here. I keep saying to Bob “my mom would love this!” But, since she’s not here, Bob and I will have to enjoy it for her. Needless to say, we didn’t get to see any of Amsterdam our first day (with the exception of the airport), but we’ll be back, and can take in the sights when we return....so stay with us. But, tomorrow is another day, with more sights to see. Come on with us and we’ll show you where we’re headed each day!
Hmmm...do you think we’ll get charged for extra baggage?
On board the “Regatta”
