We took a train to France from Amsterdam. (We will travel to The Netherlands two more times and will post the visits all together) We are big train fans! What a nice break from the chaos of an airport. You can show up 15 minutes before your departure, no TSA,
As much as we love Spain, our time in Madrid was pretty much just a bounce off to the rest of Europe. We were there for only about 72 hours, so this will be brief. We took a red-eye from Bogota to Madrid on the luxury airline Plus Ultra. You

After three months of travel in Australia and New Zealand, we were happy to come home for Christmas and see our friends and family (and also have a proper kitchen to cook in). We flew from Sydney to Honolulu and had 48 hours to restock supplies and see our friends.
