2023/07/24 – Day 1: Our journey to Amsterdam

Today we began our adventure! I am trying a new travel blog app.

We loaded up the car this morning with only the essentials. Each of us had a limit of 1 carry on bag and 1 backpack so we made sure not to leave packing until an hour before leaving (like we normally do). We left the house at 10:00am and started our journey down to Seattle. The border crossing went smooth and we were happy we still had our Nexus passes.

When we arrived in Seattle, we dropped of the car at the Park and Ride and took a bus to the terminal. We had some time before our flight boarded so we went straight to the lounge and filled up on cookies and pop. Our first flight was just a tiny hop to Portland. We departed at 4:20pm.

We are now in Portland. We have about an hour before our flight departs. We are in the lounge enjoying a meal before preparing for the long flight to London.
