Hello everyone! My postcard to home... I had a GREAT time in Stockholm. And what's most shocking to me about that is I wasn't expecting to have as much fun as I did. Seriously, I thought I would go there and be stuck in the snow and just stay inside on my computer most of the time but wow I sure was surprised. And those of you who know me know that I am not crazy about snow. I like it, but still not really trying to be in it all that much. Hence, my move to San Diego. But in Stockholm, they are so used to it that life doesn't stop just because there is snow. I'd argue that they are even more active and social than people in the U.S. who live in states that annually get snow. I can't wait to see what these people do in the summer.
My travel between Stockholm and London though... something I never want to do again. Unless I'm traveling with no bags and have a later flight, I don't want to do that again. Getting from Fruangen to Arlanda is not fun. I had to take the tube to Cityterminalen then to Arlanda on the Express train. Then, since I booked my flight with Scandinavian airlines, I had to walk some crazy distance to the gate. It must have been a 2 km walk, seriously. The flight was a little over 2 hours, which was fine. But then London. Oh my goodness London. I'm staying at a Hostel but getting from Heathrow to here was more than a notion. London has got this underground then overground then buses and on top of that, construction so random lines are just shut down. Compared to Stockholm transit, super confusing. I got so turned around in the tube that I just wanted to sit in there and not even try to get around anymore lol. How sad would that have been haha. But after about 11 hours of straight transit, I finally got here. Finally. I was so tired, I fell asleep at 7 pm and it wasn't like "I went to bed." I just passed out from exhaustion.
So, dear friends and family, I am fine/safe/ok. I have about 3 months left of travel left and then I will be back in the states. Miss you all!!
