Leaving T.J. Day 11-12


Well today is the day that we return home. We truly enjoyed our time and we did all kinds of new and exciting things; snowboarding, spelunking, clubbing, and golfing on a excellent course. Then weather was chilly but generally nice. We had to get up at 4:30 am, much to the belly aching of the girls. I brewed black coffee for Declan and I, caramel mocha for Sarah, hot chocolate for Brian, and water for Lauren. We had packed the night before and were ready to go as soon as we dressed and took showers.

I drove our rented Camry(much to the disapproval of the others) to the Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport. We didn't ride for very long; it was only a five minute ride. Our tickets were waiting there for us and we waited for 30 minutes until our plane ride. We boarded a Boeing 737 at 5:15 am and we were flying by 5:25. The ride was uneventful, most of us slept. Sarah was drooling on Lauren, Brian was drooling on Declan, and I had an aisle seat all to my self! We landed in Amesterdam at 8:00 am.

Amesterdam could have been very enjoyable, however, we had no money to spend so we had to amble around and do nothing for 6 hours! The next flight Departs at 1:40 p.m. I went to the book store and read Game Informer(all the novels, comics, and magazines were in Dutch, so I just looked at the pictures) until I got bored then I sat down and did this blog entry. If the flight is on time then we should be in Memphis International Airport at 4:45 p.m.
