In Transit - Scandinavia here I come!

It's not an easy task to get from Encinitas to Stockholm. Of all of the options, I chose car to LAX, direct flight from LAX to London Heathrow, and connection to Stockholm on British Airways. The non-stop to London was fast: only 10 hours - about the same time to get to the Cook Islands! Barely time for one movie before falling asleep.

For those of you who don't know, my itinerary is one day in Stockholm before joining a small group from Mt. Travel Sobek to fly to Kiruna in northern Sweden (above the Arctic Circle), where I will spend 9 days dog sledding, reindeer sledding, staying at the Ice Hotel, and (hopefully) seeing the Northern Lights. I won't have internet access during that time, so reports and photos when I get back to Stockholm on April 3.

After my Arctic adventure, I will spend a few days in Stockholm, then move on to Finland and Estonia before heading home. At 3 1/2 weeks, it is the longest I have been away since my 6 weeks of adventures in Bolivia in Ecuador at the end of 2009.

So stay tuned!
