I flew out on September 2 with KLM again. My flight went very smoothly, minus the flight attendant making me check the roller bag. The flight was very full from the beginning, and even check-in 30 hours ahead left very few seats. I acquired an Economy Plus seat with 10cm/4in extra of leg room, and it made a lot of difference. Apparently a few things decided to malfunction on the flight, including the lights and media players. I received a 50 euro/70 USD voucher towards my next flight. The sun was rising over the Netherlands when we landed a half hour early. I got to stare at G through the glass around the luggage collection area. It felt very natural being back in the Netherlands again. Since I got into the Netherlands at 7 AM, we caught up on sleep after the airport. We ate at Friends in Katwijk, something we’re turning into a tradition. We took the afternoon slowly, besides a trip to the space age Albert Heijn grocery store.
