Well... I've come to the end of my accordion purchases... there is nothing left that I could possibly want.
This last Thursday I sat on a plane in Montreal, arrived in Frankfurt Friday morning and 2 hours later I was in Amsterdam. Six hours later, I was back in my hotel room with a very pretty guest and ate an amazing supper (first meal in 10 hours). The following morning I hopped on a plan back to Montreal with company.
The supper, a monster schnitzel and 10.5% Pilzner beer:
The guest in my room:
She ended up sitting in the seat beside me on the plane ride home:
And here she is at our table minutes after arriving back home:
I want to give my very special thanks to @jozz who first found the Gola and was a great guy throughout the entire process, supportive and guiding in many ways. I had promised a call, but by the time I ate and got in to my room, I was burned out and crashed. @jozz THANK-YOU for your help, support and finding the Gola in the first place. Without you, I would not have been able to have what I have today on my table this instant.
The next morning was a whirlwind frenzy of getting ready for the trip home, packing the Gola to further protect it, returning the car and the entire ordeal of getting to the airport, going through checking in, security and making it JUST in time for boarding (a total of 5.5 of the most stressful hours of my life... not that the ENTIRE event wasn't putting grey hairs on my already grey hairs, but that ranks as one of the most intense days of my life... lol).
Would I ever do anything like that again? No, I really don't think so. Was it worth it? ABSO-freaking-LUTELY. This is a bucket list item ladies and gents, and I am blessed in have been able to do this.
I am grateful, thankful and incredibly happy. There is an expression out there "don't ever meet your heros, becuase you will be disappointed". There is in no way any disappointment, in fact, every moment I look at, use and hear it, I am in complete awe and can for the FIRST time in my life, understand why it is such an incredible instrument that has (IMHO), no equal.
Oh... just in passing... the red-light district... really... uhhmmm... unique!
Amsterdam is really out there for people that are in to that kind of thing... haha!!!
