Arrival
We convened at Syracuse Airport the morning of September 19 for a noon flight to connect in Detroit for trans-Atlantic service to Amsterdam, then a quick skip over the North Sea to Newcastle Airport arriving at 9 am local time. Total trip: about 17 hours - including layovers but not including a 1-2 hour road trip to Syracuse. Our first Rotarian hosts were there with wonderful greeting upon arrival (photos coming soon) and transport to breakfast. Rest time with host Rotarians, then a delicious dinner at a nearby pub, then back home after some quick sight-seeing by car for a good night's sleep. -TH
