Hooks off to Finland now.

[Hook]

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!

just got hand luggage, but all the wires and gizmo's in my case won't look good via x-ray machine at border control, hope they don't take anything off me, i can see me having to empty entire contents of bag to explain everything in it, i got more wires and leads than radio shack.

We've had such a great time with Hook !!

He's a wonderful guy, such a talent and just fun to be with !! He really lifted my spirit and hopefully helped me get my mojo back !!

[Jarle]

What Geir said, it was a real pleasure to meet such a talented and good hearted guy. I wish I could join you in Finland. I hope you are feeling better now Hook.

[Redler]

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 . 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!

On the train to Edinburgh, jings crivvens and help ma boab I'm buzzing.

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!!!!

[Redler]

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?

[Siru]

So good to hear everybody is on route!! I'm heading to the train now. We will see in just a blink of an eye!!
Santa's     on the plate soon enough so Hook don't have to starve...

Welcome to Finland!!
