And off we are!

We were both pretty sure this morning when we left at 4am that the flight would be cancelled, but no :) Plane took off at 07.50 and we arrived happily at Heathrow on time.

The plane to Los Angeles departed almost on time too. We were kept on the plane for some time by the customs, since someone or some people were trying to get illegal into the States. But off we went.
Plane ride took over 11 hours... But as last time I flew that far I didn't have any problems with it since I was watching three movies and two TV-shows. Henke watched one movie and then he was snoring. Well he played some games and read too.
We both agreed on that the plane food was the best of all so far. Go Air New Zealand!

Now we're in the hotel room, quite nice. It's 9.30 pm (6.30 am at home) and we're watching Scrubs and say "Say what??" to each other all the time, since both having problems hearing after the flight...
Haven't seen much of LA yet. So far my feeling is that I wouldn't like to live here for a long time... Too big! Oh well, sightseeing and maybe the gym tomorrow :)

PS Stefan, tell Andrew that we did get some snicke snacke on the plane ;)

Curse the snow

I can't believe this... The amount of snow falling over London as I write this. And they say that they haven't had this much snow in 18 years - EIGHTEEN! WHY NOW??? *sighs*

Well I'm almost a 100 percent sure that the flight from Stockholm to London will be cancelled tomorrow, and that will make us miss the flight to Los Angeles (not that I'm sure that it will depart...). Since British Airways cancelled their 9 o'clock flight pretty early I can't see why we'd go on at 7.50-flight with SAS... :(

Oh how much fun we'll have at Arlanda Airport! Not... Ooooh curse this weather!! :P

Our trip is taking shape...

This time I've decided to write the blog in English, so that our beloved friends out in the wide world can follow us too. Nice, eh?! :)

One thing we'll really appreciate is your comments, so please - don't hesitate to write! :)

Next things to do will be booking some more hotels and getting a shot in my bum tomorrow (against hepatitus)... And maybe start thinking of what to pack... Oh dear... Think I'll return to my wine instead...
