Invading sweden part II

So I'm in sweden again, this time it's Linköping again due to work. The flight was very easy. Nürnberg - Kopenhagen, Kopenhagen - Linköping. The machine from Kopenhagen to Linköping was a very small one and the airport was the smallers airport I've seen so far, you almost get out right at the runway. Funny but still it serves it purpose.

Our hotel seems to be right in the middle of Linköping and due to a delay because of DHL we have a easy later afternoon/ evening. Let's hope everything will go smooth tomorrow.

Anyway I'll add some pictures later.

Way to go !

Got up at 5:30, Taxi to Malmö took 20min and we arrived perfectly to grab our train. Got straight to the airport 7:30 an hour to go with an almost endless cue infront of the checking. Luckily I can checking automatically - NOT.....

It just didn't wanted to give me my ticket. After patiently waiting 40min. in the cue I realy got nervous 'cause my flight wanted to leave in 20min. So I passed the line, went to the "wrong" buisness counter and asked politly if she couldn't hand me out my ticket - nope, I didn't needed to threaten anybody - obviuosly somehow my name was written wrong, which was the reasons why I couldn't get my ticket from the automat. A short call and .... yes the plane was already gone.

I had to rebook my ticket to another flight to Frankfurt at 9:05 rather than waiting there two or three hours I planned taking the train to Nuremberg, rather than flying to Nuremberg from Frankfurt. Everything looked good - NOT.....

The security line - how could I forget that today was "standing in the line day to miss your fights". It took me another 40 mins to get pass the security I had 15mins. left to catch my flight, I missed my first one by this margin but yes, this time I was lucky. The crew was delayed, puhhhh ... .

So yes traveling is fun, checking in is fun as well but standing in the lines, no way!

Meeting Ogi ....

Was very cool. I know Ogi now already like two or three years ? I have been talking to him almost a year straight close to every evening while we were playing Star Wars Galaxies and now I finally have the chance to meet him in personal.

Cool guy.

Despite the warning I had from Elandrial - who said Ogi wasn't that tall - I was realy surprised that the really wasn't that tall. But apart from that, cool guy. I'm not tall, with my 1.58m, so I'm used to being called small.

So we met Ogi, we found a parking place and had some real good food for dinner and were chatting and talking just like we have during our REB SWG times, I realy felt getting home and I realy started missing all those/you guys from my SWG days. Especially when Ogi started talking about who else was in REB in WoW. I fear if I would have internet an week or two earlier I realy might have joined you guys in WoW. I'm still considering it because I miss the time just chatting with you guys on ventrilo or gaming with you, but it is still WoW.

Give me some SPACE and SCI FI !!!!

Freaks guys !

I'm a little bit drunk and need to get up at 5:30 at least to grab my taxi, train and flight at 8:30.

Next time I'm in sweden, I got to make sure to Elan is joininig in as well :) ...
