June 27, 2016: No doubt — Class of 47 Newport Beach Pub takes advantage of a bad review on Yelp, and invites people in to try for themselves. Maybe you can’t believe everything you read.

Hold On! — Worst of the Worst Boeing 747 Landings
June 24, 2016: Settle in with a coffee or glass of wine — a couple of these might make you cringe and be happy you weren’t on the plane. Condolence to the late bird that was victim of a hit and run!

Travel in Comfort and Style on the New Dreamliner
June 20, 2016: Individual “pod” 787 Dreamliner business class seating is like having a small suite — with no irritating neighbors nearby. Plenty of room to work, be entertained or gaze out the window as you travel over Greenland. One of the unique features of new Boeing jet is the windows — with individual adjustment for light or day time dark intensity. Very civilized.
Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport — Massive in Everything
June 18, 2016: SCHIPHOL AIRPORT is huge (moving sidewalks and long walkways everywhere), somewhat frustrating as you navigate from check in, through security, past hundreds of shops (representing ever major brand in the world), to your gate. The toy store on the ground floor is even more fun as the design includes actual airplane parts. Security was visible and invisible. Atmosphere and service — for an airport — very travel friendly. And new “innovation” security lanes (currently being tested in the US by Delta in Atlanta) can move 30% more passengers faster through screening lines.
Hoofddorpsch Is Neat!
June 17, 2016: If you find your self with a quick overnight flight layover in Amsterdam, treat your self to a hotel in Hoofddorpsch — just 15 minutes from Schiphol Airport. Neat shops to explore and variety of international dining options — all with in walking distance of several hotels. Easy too to join the locals for a bike ride too.
The Ultimate Thrill Ride?
June 16, 2016: Found this — The Slingshot — in a small residential neighborhood near Amsterdam’s massive Schiphol Airport. Riders are suspended in a round glass cabin and then pulled side to side — with the cabin spinning — like a slingshot. One way to beat airport traffic.

June 15, 2016: You can’t pass through Amsterdam without shopping for Legos and enjoying French fries served in a paper cup — usually with a mayonnaise dip.
