Thanks for the ride to CDG Skip. Dropped in on the Paris Airshow... industry employees only. Red carpet treatment in the Boeing press box. Thanks for the golden view of looping helicopters, seafood lunch, and Australian wine.
Jumpseat available, but not required on SAS; last minute seats available. New train service available to Rattvik right from the basement of Arlanda Airport (Stockholm). Too bad tickets are only in Swedish; exactly matching departure times prevented a railway misadventure. X2000 service beats aluminum tubing for comfort and the view of the countryside.
Awesome to see Nina again and meet Magnus, my Mid-Summer hosts. I brought a bottle of Absolut to its homeland for their housewarming. This is where the beautiful people celebrate the longest day of the year. Sixty degrees north, getting close to the Arctic Circle. Looking forward to the Midnight Sun and maybe seeing the Northern Lights with a little luck and cooperative weather.
