Just checking in to say our flight was uneventful. We all noticed how friendly and accommodating the KLM flight attendants and counter personnel are here in Europe. The women wear very nice, tailored dresses and hats. But most noticeable is how happy they seem to be going about their work. We had a little snafu in our seating and they were so apologetic and solved it right away. Why is it that the flight attendants in the US are so dour and crabby all the time?
Upon landing we were whisked thru customs and grabbed our bags (except for Frank whose 2 bags were no where to be found), boarded our van and relaxed on the 45 minute ride to our little resort, Springlands. We passed through the town of Moshi which we plan on returning to tomorrow for a little souvenir shopping.
We ate our dinner of spring rolls, crackers, and "fresh from Amsterdam" cheese before heading off to bed. Our accommodations are very plain but clean. Here's some local artwork on the wall, and a photo of Donna tucked cozy in her bed!
Wow-I can't belive you are there. Donna, did the net keep the bugs out???
ReplyDeleteHow was the shopping in Moshi?
Stacy
recall that netting well when we went to Papua New Guinea. Michael got 90 mesquito bites anyway. Good luck and take your maleria pills. Are you sure that is all you stashed from Amsterdam???? HAHA
ReplyDeleteEnjoy...can't wait to hear more. No word from Griffy but I assume he is doing well. He needs to add into this blog. Cloudy here today and expecting rain again. Love to you all and happy sleeping.
We are all eagerly awaiting all your updates. it's a good thing you had trained so well that 6 flights up and down was a no brainer. Have fun!
