Some people find that statement depressing. We are pretty stoked about it! So far Shaena and I have celebrated Christmas in Winnipeg, Orlando, Green Bay and Edinburgh. We figured it is about time we celebrate Christmas in Sweden, especially since we actually live here now!
So, said and done. We’ve scoured the web for cheap transportation options up to Norrbotten, the county where I am from. The problem every year in Sweden when it comes to domestic travel around major holidays is that prices are cranked up to ridiculous rates before, during and after the holiday and you pretty much have to resort to selling your kidney on the black market in order to afford to travel.
In the last couple of weeks however; this obstacle has kind of resolved itself and the puzzle pieces have slotted themselves into place quite nicely. As I am going on daddy leave in December and we are therefore no longer limited to certain dates, we were able to book a flight up north on a date when it is still cheap and home again when the prices have gone down to normal rates again!
The plan now is to simply fly up there, hang out for 2½ weeks, go visit, relax, go snowmobiling, check out the northern lights, build snow castles, go visit some more, eat loads of holiday food, drinks lots of mulled wine, meet Santa, fire off a few rockets on New Years and just have a jolly good time. How is that for a plan!?
Another major happening that is just around the corner:
The Roxette concert at The Globe next Thursday!!!
