Wednesday, 31 May, 2017:
It may have been a damp, rainy day to most people in the greater Stockholm megalopolis, but to me it was the BEST day in over a month.
You see, today marked . . .
days until Laurie arrived on a . . .
. . . Norwegian Air plane just
like this one flying over
me at our nearby bus stop
I was getting ready to go to Stockholm's Arlanda Airport to meet her flight which was due to land at 1:35 p.m.
DAMN IT!
We had a glitch, her flight had been delayed for take-off in Los Angeles, no doubt in some way due to President Trump.
Though re-scheduled here on the Norwegian Air website for a 2:52 p.m. landing, her plane didn't touchdown on Swedish soil until 3:15 p.m., a full hour and forty minutes late.
I had a similar delay with this airline when I flew here a month ago, I guess that punctuality is not a big thing in Norway.
SHE MADE IT!
We properly celebrated
once we got to the house
A huge "Tack så mycket" to Jesper Douhan for meeting us at the airport and driving us home!

After giving Laurie enough time to unpack and freshen up a bit, the Welcome to Stockholm party would continue in the city where we would meet up for dinner after their work days were over with . . .
Lotta and Aiki
We dined at an Italian restaurant near the Stockholm Central train station called Vapiano.

My pasta and the taste of Laurie's risotto were fantastic!
Vapiano was a great choice to celebrate, wine and dine before returning home and letting Laurie crash.
It was even better than I thought it would be to be with her again.
Still, she is kind of goofy.
Fortunately, I love goofy.
