That s life .....You lookk great in this picture and in fact the attitude is not of someone who is traveling ....is someone that is changing her life....curious!!!!
Yes Hans it was KLM...But look at the way we walked to the plane!!!
This was the 6th of January , when I came across the pond into Montreal the weather was slightly diffirent.
I wanted to learn to speak English and had decided to go for a year...
You know what happens after that...
You fall in love and before you know it 40 years have gone by and you are a very happy Oma..
Wonderful photo Petra:). Great memory.
I did exactly the same as you. Also left from Schiphol for Montreal by KLM.
Only I had a wife and two little babies with us:)
Those babies have made me Opa in the meantime:):):)
great story's !! from you both !! ... we have thought about going to Australia in 1980 ... but we didnt ... looking back i have not really regrets about it ... theres something all over the world ..that have i learned ... and we have a good life now also !!
I worked on DC8's when i started working for KLM ! .... i liked working on them fantastic airplanes !!
ohhhhhh 2.5 months before I was born! That's so cool! and reading the comments it's so true that look of determination and being on the edge of new undiscovered paths in life! isn't LIFE a HOOT!!!!!!!!
Thanks gwen...that was my favourite camelhair coat...not really camelhair but that was the style.
When I came to Montreal I needed boots , warm slacks ,long underwear and a good ski Jacket...
I guess I was a bit of an adventurer...
