“Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day,” is the name of a popular children’s book we are familiar with. It is also what we expected to have trying to fly back to Edinburgh today. After our challenging experience flying out of Edinburgh to Rotterdam last week, after the headline news about the catastrophic situation for travelers trying to fly out of the Amsterdam Schiphol airport, and after noting the airport website pleading with passengers not to arrive more than four hours early, we knew we were doomed. They have a severe shortage of staff performing security screening; lines of waiting travelers have been extending out of the building and around the corner. As luck would have it, after we got to the airport five hours early, we “sailed” through security in just an hour. We were actually gleefully happy to be sitting waiting in the airport for hours for our flight to depart late. Definitely a low bar.
On a most positive note, check out the posted photo. It is beautiful. It speaks volumes about the Amsterdam architecture. Took the photo yesterday evening at dusk just a block from our hotel. Ahhh… Relax…
