coming home
It looks like we’ll be home a couple of days early. After emailing Steve about a dozen times, it looks like our best shot at getting home this weekend is flying from AMS to BDL (Hartford, CT) tomorrow, 7/13 and then to MSP from there. We’ll arrive at MSP around 8 pm, as long as everything goes as planned.
We’re taking a train to Amsterdam tonight and will arrive after 11. From the train station, it’s a 25 minute train ride/drive to our place and the last train leaves at midnight. Our flight leaves Amsterdam at 1:10 pm, so we’ll be there overnight and nothing more. It’ll make today and tomorrow pretty hectic, but the rest of the flights for the weekend were pretty full, with these ones being the only flights with 20+ seats open. The rest were fully booked (not including the pad, which means–ahem, which isn’t important here)
We’re still planning on a little get-together on Sunday at Jamie’s place in the cities–I’ll still send out directions to anyone interested.
So. 24 hours from now, we won’t be home, but we’ll be on our way.

You got ppl to pick you up from the airport? I live right next to the airport if tyou need a ride. Let me know.
Aaron and Anna made it on the flight from Amsterdam to Hartford, CT this morning; the flight left 21 minutes early (let’s hear it for Northwest). Their connecting flight to Minneapolis looks good. They are scheduled to arrive in Minneapolis at 743P tonight on flight 1656.
we left the terminal 21 mins early, but unfortunately, we sat on the runway for an hour while the mechanics fixed the toilet.
I will say that NWA pilots are some of the best we experienced. Touchdown was light as a feather on both flights. Their groundstaff in Amsterdam is wonderful as well–without the help of a very kind Dutch woman, we’d never have made that first flight.
thank you thank you thank you Steve for all your help in getting us home.
