We managed to get up at 2:00 AM and board our flight from the Athens Airport without incident. Luckily, our chicken was still sleepy so our 3 1/2 hour flight was uneventful. We even managed to get a seat for her - so Dev and I managed to get some shut-eye too.

We are now in one of the many communications zones in the Schipol Airport checking our e-mail and trying to keep the chicken happy while we wait out our 7-hour delay until next flight.

This airport is designed for shoppers. Temptation lurks everywhere - in fact, the airport motto in the tax free/duty free zone is: “Bye, Buy” - nothing like directness in marketing. I am also trying to keep Dev occupied and away from the casino … I don’t know how successful I’ll be.
