Finally two weeks of holidays. Spending 9 days in Germany and 6 days in Stockholm. Starting from the airport at 10 am has some advantages. You can “sleep in” – at least more than taking the 7 am flight and take the cheaper bus (1/10th of the taxi price). Hoping for some better weather home…

Every place I go, I try to find at least one of the small boxes, collecting municipalities and countries. I finished the challenge to find one in every municipality of my county, which took a weekend…

Quiet a competition to Norwegian on domestic flights where you don’t need an alliance. Found out that all the airportbusses belong to the mafia… 70 NOK for…

Somtimes I like to try to get a little bit more comfortable on my tours. For the trip to Paris, I tried to get upgrades to business class with Optiontown. They offer the possibility to upgrade your flight (for some airlines – SAS is one of them) for a fee that mostly will be…

The last day of my trip – I have to work tomorrow. The alarm went off at 2 am… Do I have to say more. The plane left at 4:40 am so I had to be at the airport around 3 am. The hotel offers a small breakfeast (bread and cheese/jam, coffee) for the poor…
