Arriving in Amsterdam Amsterdam Centraal Train Station October 9, 2022 We took a very convenient train that runs every 30 min from Eindhoven to Amsterdam, Netherlands (69 miles-78 min) to spend the last two days of our Europe vacation visiting this charming city before we flew home. Built in 1889, the Amsterdam Centraal train station is immense and busy (although this photo was captured in a quieter moment). It is located in the center of Amsterdam, so there is good public transportation right at the train station. It was about a 20 min walk to our hotel in the Canal District. We opted for a 5 min taxi ride due to baggage — very easily obtained. We just walked out of the train station and one was waiting. Other options were a 10 min tram or a 14 min bus. There is also a train from Amsterdam Centraal train station to Amsterdam Schiphol airport that runs every 10 min. So convenient. Coming from Shelton, Washington where you have to drive 34 miles-45 min to the nearest Amtrak train station in Lacey, WA, which has kiosks only and no baggage service, and only three trains daily for the Amtrak train ride (40 miles-67 min) to the Tukwila train station closest to the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SeaTac), which is still 5 miles away from the airport and literally just a stop on the tracks, with no obvious services, unless you arrange for a local taxi in advance or call an Uber or hike to the nearest public bus stop that provides sporadic service to the airport — well, let’s just say that it’s a whole lot easier to get around the Netherlands (and all of Europe) by train than it is here in Washington State. To be fair, since we live in the boonies in WA, it’s not quite an apples to apples comparison. But still. #amsterdamcentraal #amsterdam #netherlands🇳🇱 #visitamsterdam #travelamsterdam #visitnetherlands #travelnetherlands #europetravel #europedestinations #travelbytrain #trainsplanesandautomobiles #transportation #rebels_united #rebel_scapes #loves_europe #loves_netherlands #ig_captures_architectura #architecturelovers #architecturedesign #royalsnappingartists #rsa_streetview #rsa_architecture #rsa_doorsandwindows #citybestpics (at Amsterdam Centraal, Amsterdam, Netherlands) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnfMvIiP0VR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A Day in the Life. (Or, How I spent Fourteen Hours I Will Never Get Back.) Ever think about the things you do, in order to do the things you want to do? After a wonderful vacation in California over New Years, payback, in the form of a long as hell travel day, happened on the return trip to DC. I freely admit this might be a boring blog, but something compelled me to write it. The day started…

#throwbackthursday I loved doing a product tour for @tcelectronic & the #powercore product even though the German staff misspelled my name. 😂 Loads of fun & back before 9/11 you could still bring a whole computer system on a plane ✈️ So, times change, we will move forward & we will triumph over adversity as we have in the past. Keep your heads up, stand strong, move forward, persistently. We will beat #covid19 & survive. #tbt #travel #europe #powercore #tcelectronic #throwbackthursday #trainsplanesandautomobiles #travel (Hamburg, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEaHimlJPDq/?igshid=3kfv5amabqgg

Where are you headed for the holidays? . I hate to admit it, but more often than not I have related to Steve Martin’s character, Neal Page, from Trains, Planes & Automobiles. (There’s even a dash of him in my Dear Snow book). Classic movie though. 🚂✈️🚗 . #art #stevemartin #trainsplanesandautomobiles #illustration #illustrator #artist #movies #travel #artwork #mikebrennanart #mikebone #visualart #dailyart #fanart #johnhughes #johnhughesmovies #80smovies (at New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5HOKsWHn5r/?igshid=hjkx8xhym30u
