Extra nice to be home :)

It feels even more special to be here at home today, because of the fact that the weekend didn't go exactly as planned!!

Friday: Serious train delays on the way to airport. Cancelled flight. Chaos at the airport. Going back to the Hague. PANIC and DISAPPOINTMENT big time !! KLM phonelines not available.

Saturday: Get up early. What to do? KLM phonelines still not available. Dad gets thru and got my ticket rebooked to Sunday afternoon. BUT. Had to go back to airport to stand in line from 1.30 PM until 9.20 PM with hundreds of other people with hardly no food or drinks to check in to the flight. Reached ticket office desk finally and friendly lady checks me in on a flight on Sunday evening instead. Going back to the Hague.

Sunday: Get up early. Pack everything again. Go to airport on my own with 2 heavy bags in the snow = SUCKED with 1 hour waiting for the tram. Get to airport and realize it's totally not busy, drop luggage took 5 minutes! Baby meets up with me and I have a great few hours with him before my flight ! 11 PM in Gothenburg airport picked up by mom and dad ! :D

So now being here, I missed cutting this year's Xmas tree - but I was told the sheep weren't there this year, so at least I'm not too sad about missing that :P And since nobody really knew when the flights would start to go again, I was really faced with the possibility that I might not be home in time for Xmas !!

Felt like a movie or something.. With a happy ending of course !! :D So now is the time to be extra happy for being home, with family and with friends !

I hope all those thousands of people stranded in Amsterdam airport for the weekend got to where they were planning on going in time for Xmas !! :)

Thanks for reading !! ;)
