I left PDX at 2:20pm for Amsterdam.
Here are a few photos I took while on the plane.
NOTES:
1) It was huge
2) It was actually peaceful (no crying babies)
3) There was massive amounts of food served
Everyone had their very own screen complete with movies, music, games, etc. |

Arrived at Amsterdam airport around 8:30am. I looked up our next flight and gate number and we waited there. While boarding, several passengers were told they were at the wrong gate - including us. I sprinted across the airport to the correct gate to see our plane leaving. Not the best start to the morning. Krystal and I, as well as 5 other passengers experienced the same problem. We followed a German guy to guest services and received new tickets for later that evening. By this point, we had been awake 25 hours. It was exhausting, but the Amsterdam Airport was beautiful and had many fun shops. We found an awesome lounge area where I had a glass of wine.
I wish we could have explored Amsterdam. I love windmills. |
Anyhow, we arrived in Barcelona around 11:30pm. There was an abundance to taxi cabs so we headed towards our hostel "Be Dream" in Badalona. We paid 144 Euros for 4 nights.

We're here! Finally the relief of actually realizing I made it to Europe. We slept in a little bit then went to find somewhere to eat.
