Our start to the fall trip may have been the smoothest day of travel ever. The drive to the airport was easy and quick. We walked right up to the check in and were done in minutes. There was no line at TSA and we were through in less than a minute. We relaxed in the excellent lounge at Portland until it was time to board our flight. The flight was full but took off on time and arrived 45 minutes early in Amsterdam. We had heard about 3 hour immigration checks due to the implementation of a new biometric system in Europe. When we got to immigration we were about 10th in line, and our biometrics were collected by a nice Netherlands immigration agent and we were on our way in about 10 minutes. Our bags were waiting for us when we got to the carousel, and the Uber arrived within 2 minutes of us asking for it.
As a result of this we arrived at our storage less than an hour after arrival to find François waiting for us. A quick check and everything was working as designed and we had no mouse residents to deal with. We made a run to a Lidl near the campground to stock up with a few days worth of food, and arrived at the campground at 10:30.
Ton spent the rest of the day unpacking our bags and removing our leftover food from mouse proof containers while I sat nodding off out of the way. Hopefully, the rest of the trip will be as smooth as this day was.
