I'm in Lux!!!
I made it after a couple of hours of driving, one fuel fill up at ~ 40 Euros, two trips to the restroom at .30 Euros each and a small Honey bunches of Oats Cereal Bar. Now that I think of it, I don't think I ate any lunch or dinner. I did have a beer though when I got to the Hotel. Thanks Greg for the welcome.
last night:
After we got back from the "Lighted Square, " we met up with a bunch of crew in the downstairs lobby and hung out for a bit. I got to meet more people which was a good thing and even met up with Vic. Good stuff. I had yet another beer and a shot of yeagermeister. I'm starting to get use to drinking and not having the red spots show up. Good thing? Who knows...
the beginning of the day:
I had breakfast with the crew which was great company, picked up the rental at Budget in the Amsterdam Airport, drove back and gathered all my stuff. I got some assistance from the manager lady and loaded the little car up. It's a fun little car and has some moderate to okay acceleration. Although it wasn't the A-Class that I thought I would be getting, it definitely worked out just right to fit all my stuff. The internet connection that I have here in the Amsterdam Hilton isn't that great at all, so I won't be able to really upload all the pix that I took on the road trip until I have some decent connectivity.
I had a small hassle on the way down taking a 20 minutes detour in between Brussels and Antwerp. It was good small town driving. The entire trip started at 1330 local and ended at around19:30. I did also take a 20 minutes stop over to rest a bit. Raining also started pouring but no one really slowed down, so I just followed along. Driving around here is definitely weird, but I'm running out of battery. The Hilton only allows you to connect one device in a 24 hour period and didn't let my personal laptop onto the internet. Oh well...more tomorrow.

remember the road trip we took to cape canaveral last month?? we stopped at dunkin got some coffee and donuts and then we stopped at the gas station and i got some chips, candy and the world's biggest soda! see you need me to keep you nourished! hehe :) glad you had a safe drive!
well, you know me that whenever I get gas, its usually hot cheetos and a soft drink of sorts, but the Euro just kills the whole idea of $2.00 on the go snack. paying .30 Euros for the bathroom alone adds to the whole experience. I mean, you can't complain though because the restrooms here are well maintained. =) It would have been nice though to do the drive together.
