I'm not even going to escape this f-ing rain while in AMS. On the good side, the best weather day is the day after I arrive, so at least I'll have Friday to adjust a little before Saturday sightseeing.

Have fun landing below sea level!

I finally got the picture of the AA Exec Platinum Dog
(Apparently this dog flies on a paid seat and he is not a service dog)

Speaking of altitude, that reminds me of sitting on one of the NetJets Saturday. The altimeter reading in the cabin fluctuated within a range of a few feet. While sitting in the hangar.

He's taking your bulkhead middle seat (and the photo seems to be taken from a non-bulkhead middle seat).

Thanks for that. :rolleyes: :p

The burning question is now what to do for the two days that I'm on my own. I've already been told that Den Haag will have to be on my own, as there's no plans for it once the ship comes in. The weapons and armor section of the Rijksmuseum is on the list, as is Anne Frank and MC Escher. Making a stop at the Hard Rock with my now-cursed pin collection is high on the list, as is doing a recommended walking tour. Trick is to make it all fit together.

Isn't pressure wonderful? I know my sinuses think it's pretty :rolleyes:.

It was taken by my girlfriend's mom, I did not believe her, but she said she had a pic on her Iphone.

Anne Frank House will probably have the longest line / wait. These activities are fairly close - I don't know where Escher is but walked from the Rijksmuseum to Anne Frank House to Dam Square (where I think the Hard Rock was).

Hard Rock is very close to Riijk.

Beware of bicycles.

It sounds amusing... until you get there.

That's pretty nuts. A few questions:

Does the dog use priority boarding?
Can the dog upgrade?
Do the AAdvantage people issue the dog a card, and if so, is it on his collar?
Will other airlines status match the dog?

Personally, I think all of the above should be tackled by sbm12 in a blog post. AA corporate communications should have no problem answering, right? This should also somehow find its way into an upcoming Upgrd episode.

I taught my fiancee's 6-year-old niece "ERRONEOUS!", much to her mother's dismay.

This is the same little girl that I was trying to convince to walk up to her grandfather at his 60th birthday party this weekend and say "60 is the new 50." Strangely enough, no dice on that.
