JFK to AMS
THE OVERNIGHT FLIGHT TO CHOOSE
Luckily, we elected to take the overnight flight from JFK to AMS departing at 10pm and arriving at a civilized 8am. This meant that our son slept the entire way (he’s his mother’s son and loves to sleep and, as we recently discovered, also has his father’s fortune [...]

It’s been officially one week and a day since I ‘moved’ to Amsterdam. The ‘moved’ is in quotations because I was completely absent during any sort of physical element involved in said move. All the packing, bubble-wrapping, box-taping and multiple trips to Connecticut for storage were blissfully done without me (Thanks Fris!). It [...]
