Greetings from Amsterdam. 7 a.m. here. Midnight back home. One long flight down and one to go. Our flight is showing "on time" for Hyderabad, but we have about 4 and a half hours to walk, stretch, and do whatever else we can to get our bodies ready to sit on a plane for another 8 or 9 hours.

The flight was late leaving Detroit because of de-icing (always a good thing to do this time of year) but we had a good tail wind and only ended up a few minutes late. I got a couple of hours sleep on this flight. Troy said he got about 20 minutes.

Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers. Next post will be in India, although not sure when as internet access will become more infrequent there.

Left Wichita on time and arrived in Detroit a few minutes ahead of schedule. Ate lunch at the airport, rode the train inside the terminal for no reason other than to pass the time and got a little exercise.

Snowing here in Detroit, but nothing serious to effect the flight, just enough to make it pretty. We figure that we have about 600 miles down and about 10,000 to go.

Next flight will take us to Amsterdam. We will arrive there early morning their time and have a few hours to relax in the airport there before taking the next flight to Hyderabad.

Thought I would take advantage of the opportunity to have internet here in Detroit. Blessings to all.
