going to the netherlands

so i got in the car at 3:00 sharp back at home, and the driver whisked me away to newark airport. right away he asked me when my flight took off, and we quickly determined that they had scheduled my pickup at least an hour early. he had me there in 15 minutes or so, and then i had about 2 hours to kill before my plane actually borded. i guess with international flights they leave you a lot of time, but in this instance it was unecessay. i got a salad thingy at this cafe and then i went through security. they didn´t make me take off my shoes or anything. i went to the terminal and got a coffee and started reading some material for my training. there was a german family waiting for the same plane, and they had a young girl and a baby girl, about 1 year old. they were cute and it made me miss my boy.
