Flight to Amsterdam delayed - on board but haven’t left yet already 1-1/2 hrs delay. Now I’m worried about continuing flight to Prague
TravelerInternational flights usually arrive early, they schedule extra time so they won't be late so much. You'll probably make up 30-45 minutes on the flight.
On the return flight from our riverboat trip we had to fly into Amsterdam for our fight home. What a run from one area to another. Just relax. You are not in charge - you have to take what you get. The trip will be wonderful. Getting there doesn't count. [Myra Fisher]

Beyond words to see this in person — it’s in the yellow building that almost looks like a church😢
"Man's inhumanity to man". It makes me weep to see replicas of the creamatorium after reading many books about the atrocities that happened during those horrid years. Hopefully, similar history WILL NEVER be repeated. [Berniece R.]
