The Adventure Begins (again)

As I type this I am sitting in Schipol Airport in Amsterdam enjoying a coffee and a croissant with some apricot jam.  It is 7am and pitch black outside. (The wonders of latitude!) The first leg of my journey started yesterday morning when I left Montgomery to drive to Birmingham and drop my dog off with my daughter before heading to Atlanta. The flight from Atlanta to Amsterdam was 8 1/2 hours long-- enough time for me to doze fitfully and watch two movies. I now have another four hours before my second-- and longest flight at 10 1/2 hours before I arrive in Kampala. Hopefully I will be able to sleep on that flight. I may need to double up on the melatonin. However, Schipol is a "silent" airport and they don't make public announcements of flights.  Makes for a peaceful time as I continue to work on my materials for KCS.
