All year, I planned to take my vacation in Amsterdam/Belgium and now that time has arrived. To get me started for this elaborate vacation, I was invited to the Menchaca's double birthday party in Stockton. They had make-your-own burrito buffet set out, they had a live mariachi band and they had an Elvis Presley impersonator. When the Elvis impersonator left the building, then they started playing good dancing music and one of the songs was "Let's Get it Started" by the Black Eyed Peas. When this song played, I knew I was ready for Amsterdam! Everyone at the party did a 'soul train' and I had visions of Amsterdam in my mind!

I still have not figured out why they call it the Sacramento International Airport, when there is no direct flights from Sacramento to any international country. In fact my flight on United Airlines will take me to Denver, Colorado's airport and from there I will get a layover at Chicago Ohare's International Airport and finally fly over to Amsterdam.

This is my 2006 Adventure to Amsterdam - Hoofddorp, Netherlands; South & North Holland; Berlin, Germany; Mechelen/Antwerpen, Belgium. I park at Daily B - 9B area of the Sacramento International Airport. I always dread paying those parking fares when I return from any international trip. On United Airlines, I was greeted by a very friendly stewardess named Maria, that made me feel very comfortable for this long enduring flight. United Airlines provided a variety of movies from The Devil Wears Prada to Lady in the Water to You, Me and Dupree and finally Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. I managed to watch a lot of each movie, including the TV Show The Office. After my long flight, I finally land in Schiphol (Amsterdam's International Airport) and get shuttled off ...
