Independence Air safety announcements
On Saturday, I took an Independence Air flight from Newark to DC. The celebrity safety announcement was done by Allison Janney! (C.J. Cregg on The West Wing).
Yeah... maybe I'm the only one who thought that was cool.

Amsterdam
A week ago Saturday/Sunday:
BNA ->* EWR -> AMS -> Centraal Station -> Waterlooplein
This past Saturday:
Waterlooplein -> Centraal Station -> AMS -> EWR -> DCA
Tomorrow:
BWI -> BNA
* The flight from Nashville to Newark was on the smallest airplane I've ever been on. Except for that one time when I was flying a crop duster over a stone quarry. Oh wait. That was a dream.
A list of some of the things I learned while in Amsterdam. That is, the non AIED stuff. That's for another time.
- Being alone in a wonderful foreign city is exciting for the first 4 or 5 hours. Then you get lonely. Actually, I think it's more like you get hungry, and then you go someplace to eat by yourself, and then you get lonely.
- Sneltram means subway. At first, I thought it was the name of the stop. I kept thinking... this is the biggest metro station ever. It spans about 10 blocks!
- You have to pay extra for ketchup.
- Bicycles are cool.
- Having 7 modes of transportation in a city is even cooler.
- Chinese people speaking Dutch is uber-cool
