First day full of new things.

Hello all and thank you for reading all these posts that I have put up, I apreciate that you comment on them, I will try to put a knew one up everyday, but not promising anything.
Well today, and yesterday I guess, where very eventful days. I will start with friday. I got up at around 10 o'clock and just hung around Vanbeelan's house until 2:30. Vanbeelans took us to the airport because they had to pick up some people coming from holland. So dad and I said our good byes and we were off. We were hoping there would be no delays but as we walked up the stairs we looked at our flight info and it said "Air Transat to Amsterdam Flight 850 delayed, departure 22:30". Our origonal departure time was 20:30. Well dad said, we may as well look around for a bit. So we did, we spent the next 7 hours watching planes and eating food and walking around watching people and laughing at them. We also sat outside the international terminal and listened to all the different people with all there different languages. It was quite fun. Anyways, after many hours of waiting we went to go find out terminal. It was D70, there was alot of people there waiting for the plane to be bored also, and guess what, they were all dutch. I could not stop laughing at them because I am so used to my parents and my cousins talking dutch, but not anyone else, it was pretty funny.
We got on the plane, and we were off. I learned a few things on this flight. When you try to comunicate with a old dutch lady that doesn't know much english, speak really slooooowwww, or just try piece together some dutch. Also, when someone dutch talks to you really fast, just nod your head and say "Yes". Also you know how movies portray clouds being fluffy and able to land on, that is not true, you just go right through them, of course I knew that already. Flying into the Netherlands was awesome, because it was light and you could see everything, I saw tones of big ships, and other airplanes, it was very cool.
Well, other than Eilko picking us up and driving from one side of holland to the other in 2 hours, that was pretty much it for the first day of our trip.
Again I thank you all for reading this, I will try keep it updated regularily.
Tomorrow we fly with Air Berlin to Bilboa, Spain, and we go to our destination, we hope and pray that everything will go well.
Anyways, I wish you all a good day, well a good night for me, and I shall post soon I hope.

-Jakob
