Frozen Toilets

Amsterdam Travel Blog › entry 1 of 14 › view trip summary

To boldy go where TB's are for New Year's Eve. And a side trip to Nice, France, so I could see a new country, Monaco.

Frozen Toilets

Since I only have 15 minutes left on my paid internet access in Schipol's Laptop Bar and I don't feel like spending another 6 Euros for 30 Minutes, I'll just give you the highlights thus far.

- Delayed 30 minutes leaving Minneapolis due to "frozen" toilets
- KLM is nicer than Northwest Airlines
- Realized I goofed on my flight from Amsterdam to Nice, so I had a 9 hour layover in Amsterdam.
- A large baggage locker costs 10 Euros for a day.
- Did recon of Amsterdam as well as my hotel, Movenpick, and confirmed my reservation.
- 8 hours in a plane is not good for tendinitis
- Verizon Wireless lied to me about my Blackberry 8830 having coverage, so far its only SOS coverage on Vodafone's network.
- Still a couple of hours to kill. What will I do?
- Talk to a guy from Riga who goes to law school at Penn State. Potential new TB.
- A boarding pass is needed to buy anything at shops in Schipol.
- The laptop bar at Schipol has 110 outlets. No need for an adapter.
- Will I make it to Nice? That would be nice. :)

Yeah, particularly when I told several people that I would be reachable by phone.

Ahh, I'll ask about that. I have no idea, but I'm going to find out (before I get my money back!) :) Glad you got it figured out tho! Sure was inconvenient not having it, huh?
