Dec 21-23, 2009 \u2013\u00a0Amsterdam Airport, Netherlands<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It snowed in Amsterdam for the first time in something like 10 years. \u00a0So all flights were cancelled as they don’t have plows. \u00a0This place was a mess. We stood in queue for two days. \u00a0Unfortunately, this caused us to miss the couple of days that we had planned to spend in Marrakech, Morocco.<\/p>\n

The lines (queues) were so long that the AMS airport had people walking around handing out water.<\/p>\n

Dec 26, 2009 \u2013 Madrid, Spain<\/strong><\/h2>\n

To get out of Amsterdam to Spain, we had to fly to Barcelona instead of Madrid. \u00a0Of course our luggage was lost, so we took the train directly to Madrid and asked the airline to send our luggage there. \u00a0 Our luggage did not show up until right before\u00a0we were supposed to pick up our rental car and begin our drive south.<\/p>\n

We spent a couple of days in Madrid with no luggage and head colds. \u00a0So we didn’t get to see much of the city before we were scheduled to move on.<\/p>\n
