I got to the airport in Norrköping last morning and was informed that we were gonna be late because Kastrup was using only one runway because of ice and wind. After getting to Copenhagen, I had to stand in a transfer hall for 2 hours (during which my flight for Frankfurt went) so I got a new ticket to Seattle about six hours later.
Had a nice lunch with a British guy and then took the 10 hour flight to Seattle with SAS, managed to sleep some on the train and also watched The Rock and Truman Show. 10 hours is a long time, but it was ok, the planes are nice and I got a dual seat section for myself.
Anyway, then I got to Seattle and managed to get through customs (not so hard really, just fill out the 100 forms and give them your ID, fingerprints and digital face photo - only retina scan and blood sample left now, I reckon...). My final flight for Denver left pretty much directly after that and I got there nice and cool with Alaska Airlines. I spoke to a guy from Microsoft on the plane who worked with hardware development - I bet you didn't know they use Linux for their CAD systems. ;)
Finally I arrived in Denver and met up with my hosts Troy and Andrew who are apparently really nice people. Now I've slept for maybe six hours, woke up two time during the night, first time I thought it was 5 PM but it was only 5 AM. Just had some breakfast now and I am going to the local Safeway to get some food and other supplies. As far as I understand, you are already enjoying Friday evening in Europe now - have a good one.
