Only a few days to go...

Apologies for not blogging sooner. I've been really busy with final exams, holidays, and catching up with old friends. I had to move back into my mother's house in my hometown since I had to cancel my lease at school. It has given me the oppurtunity to catch up with people I haven't seen in a long time.

I've been working on getting my last minute arrangements set up and starting the packing process. I'be booked my flight and bus tickets, gotten my visa, arranged to be picked up and signed up for housing. I'm leaving from Washington Dulles on Thursday night on Scandinavian Airlines. The plane will arrive early on Friday in Copenhagen, Denmark. That's the easy part though.

I then have to somehow find the bus terminal in the large foreign airport, wait around a couple hours and start the next part. The first bus ride is fairly short; it is from Copenhagen across the Oresund Bridge, which is largest bridge-tunnel in Europe, to Malmö. Luckily EU integration means no border stop at the Swedish-Danish line. The final leg of the journey is from Malmö to Jönköping. That's about a four and a half hours. The busses supposedly have inernet s I MIGHT be able to blog on the way.

Someone is meeting me at the bus/train station and I go from there. They've told me basically nothing about what happens after that. I won't know where I live until I get there. Certainly a cavalier way to start an adventure wouldn't you say? That's part of the fun I guess!
