12jun19-TUE-Fly back home! (boo hoo!)


Our wonderful travel consultant, YVONNE, again, drove us to the train station at Almelo, where we could catch a direct train to Schiphol Airport at Amsterdam.

We got the 9:18am train, and were at Amsterdam by about 11:30am.

Then we checked our bags, and went to a station where we waited 2 1/2 hours for a ride to the baggage check.  Funny part is, it was JUST around the corner!  (we thought by the signs, it was WAY over).

Then after that, another long wait for security check.  When we got to the area, we found out our plane was delayed (we got combined with what was SUPPOSED to be a direct flight from Frankfurt Germany to Toronto, but they added more people at Schiphol.

Then flew to Toronto... very nice flight on a newer A330!... that was REALLY nice... more leg room than the flight to Holland.  We met an author that wrote books, and he gave me a "Melatonin" pill to try for Jet Lag.  I slept for about 2 hours on the flight!

Then in Toronto, another LONG wait of 2 1/2 hours for a ride to the baggage, and then through security.  We got fast-tracked at the security, so that was great.

It was HARD to stay awake driving home, so I stopped in Markdale, and slept for about half an hour, then drove the rest... got to Owen Sound at 11:30pm (near midnight).
