Before we get on the boat, we have almost three days. We'll be spending these days in Leiden, The Hague, and Delft. In doing my research, I've found several places in which to spend some time, and we've already bought tickets.

Very exciting for me is the portion of the trip after boating. This is also one of the reasons we chose to go to the Netherlands. My grandfather, Reindert, was born there in 1890. He emigrated to the US in the early 1900s. He passed away before I turned 5, so no opportunity to learn anything about his Dutch relatives. And, there's no one alive that could tell me more. We visited the Netherlands in 2011, and prior to that trip I had tried to find some relatives there. Unfortunately at that time, I was unsuccessful. However, long afterwards I discovered some second and third cousins. I've been in "facebook" touch with them since then, but on this trip we will be meeting for the first time!
