Luggage Problem
We boarded a cab to the airport for a princely sum of SF55.00 (including a SF5 tip). Unbeknownst to me, flights within Europe only allow 20kg per passenger - not 2 bags of 70 lbs. each. My 2 bags weighed in at 42.5 kg. At an extended weight fee of SF75/kg beyond 20, I stood to pay over SF1000 !!!!! The logical thing was to get a smaller bag as a hand carry and jettison my bigger bag with most of its contents. It was a major bummer having to open up my bags, sort out which ones to save and which ones to throw out. Ginny bought a hand carry bag for me and refused to let me pay for it - what class!

KLM's Lounge
e The flight went well. At our layover in Schipol airport in Amsterdam, we stayed at the KLM Lounge. Ginny was flying Business Class so we (me as her guest, since I was flying economy) were entitled to use KLM's Lounge, which provided unlimited free drinks, food and refreshments. Since I always fly economy that was like a part of a hidden world revealed to me.

That's where Ginny and I parted ways. Before the day was over, I found myself at the hottest place in town - Greenbelt 3 with all its bars, restaurants and dance clubs.
