Just left Geir and on a bus to Larvik, then train to oslo. I'll post my flight info later. I can't say enough good things about Geir & Jarle, wonderful fellows and I will never forget my stay in Norway.
Rock on!

Great!
I'm cooking food for tomorrow - don't tell what is it yet! Preparing some "night snack" as well!
Very soon starts reindeer hunting - I must get one before Mark arrives at 5.30 pm local time ;D . I'll get him at Pori airport (NextJet Helsinki - Pori). All group should be together about at 3 am local time. Perhaps we took a nap before the arrive here.
Hook, probably you must wait for Päivi a little bit - about one hour, maybe less I think. She'll be around 9 o'clock at the Tampere airport.
Safe journey to everyone!

Jim you'll just need to pull out the larger electronics or they'll be emptying your bag in front of you. I've been fortunate so far, just got my toothpaste taken away from me though. Carried that tube through four airports and Helsinki just wasn't going to let me keep it.
So I'm drinking a Lapin Kulta and doin' some emails. Waiting for the for the shuttle flight to Poritown!!!!

Fine Mark, you're almost at the destination. Lapin Kulta sounds good, although it is not the best one - it's overpriced airport beer;) I recommend Karhu, if available.
When landing, you'll fly over this place nearby the river.
James, is your flight number SK2542?

I'm at the Oslo Airport now...taking it easy on the drink. I just ate the 1st real food I've had (other than bread) after my poorly executed rum escapade with Geir I'm just chilling.i right now.
My flight from Oslo to Stockholm is SK496
And then I'm Stockholm to Tampere SK4246
Can't belive I've just left Geir & Jarle off to meet the rest of you in Finland...craziness!
Rock on!

Sleep is good. You'll be well-rested and ready to rock 'n' roll. :)
Is it 11 PM or 10:50? I've been checking the status on a few sites and they said 23:00 for a while but then they revised it to 22:50.
