Day 11 - Amsterdam to SFO

We were up by 5:00, out the door at 6:00 and on the train to the airport by 6:30. Mom and I had a little time to do some shopping in the airport before our flight from Amsterdam to Zurich. Once in Zurich we thought we'd have time for lunch, but it took the majority of our layover to circumnavigate the huge airport to find our gate. Once at the gate, there was little time for much of anything and before we knew it, we were flying home to San Francisco. The flight was tough for me because we had to stay awake so that I'd be able to go to sleep upon landing in SF. It was a 12 hour flight. I have never stayed awake for a 12 hour flight. I normally sleep for at least 8 hours. I learned that watch 6 back-to-back movies will make your brain feel like oatmeal. Mom had a few cat naps, so did Matt. By the time we landed in SF, I was so happy to be standing in the fresh air. It was good to be home.

It had been a good trip. 800 miles, 3 countries, 10 days. I think we all have good memories that will be with us for a very long time.
