EuroTrip19 - Day 1 - Travel day and Amsterdam

It was an early start to the day, getting the traveling crew up at 4:30AM to catch our flight at 7AM to start our journey.  None of us got a good sleep that night, as we all had various last minute things to pack and take care of before we could turn in for the evening. We were all quite tired when the alarm went off, but the excitement of Europe and the pressure of getting to the airport on time got us moving.  So the five of us departed: Sara, Noah, Katy, Ally (niece) and myself.

PDX was the same comfortable friend as always, the launching point of so many of our adventures.  It really is a nice airport, just the size to get in and around quickly without too many headaches.   We stopped by Capers for some much-needed breakfast and then to our flights.  Traveling American, hopefully, the will treat me better than my last trip.

The first leg of the flight was from Portland to Dallas.  The flight was quick and uneventful. After making our way through the Dallas airport (Skylink works pretty well), we chill at the Centurion lounge for some lunch and relaxation.
