The In's and Out's of Flying WowAir

WowAir is a new airline to DFW.  They traditionally offer super cheap flights to Europe, but you have to stop in Iceland.  You do not have to stay in Iceland though.  My layover going to London was suppose to be 1 hour and 45 minutes, but due to a flight delay, it was zero minutes basically (they held our connecting plane for us and I ran like there was a frog chasing me.  If you know me, you know that means I've kicked into a superhero warp speed that you can't believe exists in me).  My flight from Amsterdam to DFW was suppose to be about 5 hours, but due to a delay was just over 6.  But you can also arrange to spend a little time in Iceland if you want.  It's up to you.

Lots of cheese There were beautiful hydrangeas at the cheese farm.  Cheese farm?  Cheese factory?  I don't know what you should call it! The next stop was Volendam in North Holland again, the flowers were beautiful Volendam Harbor We can call this picture "What Kara did NOT eat for lunch"...  The next stop was the town of Edam More Hydrangeas! Whenever the bridge has to be raised, the same guy raises all of them.  No they aren't automated.  He raises one, the boat passes, t
