The flight over to Amsterdam didn't seem like 8 hours. We left Minneapolis around 3:15 pm, Friday. We had our own little monitor on the back of the seat in front of us to watch movies, play games, watch maps to see where we were in the route and more. John only got two hours of sleep during the 8 hour flight. Zena didn't get any. She intended to and felt she'd have no problem falling asleep - however she watched 3 movies, read and played games. She was WIDE AWAKE (I guess she and WE didn't have to worry about her snoring!).
Amsterdam airport was very easy to navigate. English signs were posted everywhere. There were a good number of restaurants and shops. The urinals in the mens bathroom even looked like a bowl. When Zena went to look at shops, she got lost and had to figure her way out to where I was waiting. The whole place had more of a feel of an American airport or a high-end mall.
Most of the people in the airport looked like they were dressed for an eclectic coffee shop. It was supposed to be only 2 1/2 hours in-between flights in Amsterdam to Barcelona, but we ended waiting another hour because the captains seat was not working correctly and they were waiting for a part to come in to fix it.
Arriving in Barcelona around 6:10 am (Saturday morning), we it was easy find our Royal Carribean representatives, even though most signs were only in Spanish (thank God for the study lessons in Spanish on CD)! We didn't have to go to baggage claim -- because, indeed, we did travel light. We each had only a carry-on and personal tote that we brought right on the plane. It's very nice not having to wait for baggage!
