Soooo, I’m sitting at the airport in Hamburg. I woke up half an hour before my alarm went off. Of course I got up, no use trying to turn around and sleep some more. I at least had ample time to get ready. After continously switching between blouse and a sweater, I choose the sweater, airplanes tend to be cold. The trip to the airport was uneventful. Hamburg is fast asleep at 5:30 am on a Saturday morning. Next stop….Amsterdam. Gee, I didn’t know that planes arrive unexpectantly at airports. Ours did. We arrived in Amsterdam on time, Even though we left 15 minutes latter than planned. Upon parking the plane, the captain announced that the airport wasn’t ready for us. No stairs, no bus. So an agonizing wait, with another plane to catch. Surprise, surprise, when I entered the terminal my connection flight was already flashing green with the words: Now Boarding. Amsterdam Schiphol might look small, but it isn’t, so I was off and running. Only to find an endless line with screening, again. The typical interview: Did you pack yourself, did you accept any packages, and once again a complete checkover, this with complete jewellery removal. I can recommend the film „Saving Mr. Banks“ to all lovers of Disney. I did feel old, knowing all the lyrics to the songs of the Mary Poppins film. Next stop….. Boston
