KLM = better than Air Canada and British Airways

So I'm in Amsterdam right now, having just enjoyed an 8 euro breakfast at McDonalds, a 12(!) euro shower and great service on my flight from Accra. The shower was my first hot one in over three months.

Yesterday was long--an hour tro-tro into town, a six hour bus ride to Accra, another hour or so in the car, then a six hour flight. KLM is great: they give you your own TV with movies and TV shows and music on demand. I watched two movies and the Simpsons, which was great to see. I don't think anyone in Ghana has even heard of it.

Now I'm looking at a ten hour flight, followed by the ferry and a drive to Shawnigan. I've given up counting how many hours of travel that is, but it's over 25 in two days. I'll post some photos and more stories when I get some time at home in the next few days.

Finally, congratulations to Katherine on getting into Princeton. Not too shabby--I'm so proud of you.
