2023-Normandy

In spite of a bumpy start, it looks promising

Updated on January 5, 2025May 18, 2023

As a gift to our father who turned 70 years last year (2022), we gave him a weekend to Normandie in France. Some historic exploration and lots of good food and company. I started off by waking up a bit early, probably because of some travel fever. We had decided …

Saying hello to the Norwegians

April 23, 2023April 23, 2023

Friday, going to Oslo Last December I got a “feeling” and booked a trip to Oslo. I’ve been here once before. EVRY, my employer at the time, had a massive party for all employees when they launched the new brand. They went from EDB ErgoGroup Systeam to EVRY, which is …

A weekend with friends in Skellefteå

Updated on March 9, 2025February 26, 2023

About 1 ½ years ago I booked a trip to Skellefteå to see SAIK – Leksands IF in January 2022. Then more restrictions were applied and eventually the game even got postponed because of Covid in LIF. I went anyway, had a nice, calm weekend in the winter landscape, and …

Hockey and escape room in Gothenburg

January 6, 2023January 6, 2023

I enjoy attending sporting events live to see the games and experience the atmosphere. Sometimes I’ll go to another town in Sweden to see “my” team and make a weekend out of it. This time the goal was Gothenburg and the game between Frölunda HC and Leksands IF in Scandinavium. …

2022-London

A slow last day

October 10, 2022October 10, 2022

Since the first time in the “morning” we had to adhere to was at 11, leaving the house we didn’t set any alarms. Felt nice to have a sleep in 🙂 Packed up our stuff and made plans for visiting the Tower of London. Set off for the subway for …

Packers everywhere

October 9, 2022October 9, 2022

We had the same breakfast as yesterday, even though we apparently arrived half an hour before the kitchen opened. The nice owner(?) solved it anyway and we waited just about 15 minutes to get our stuff to go. We ate while watching today’s F1 race, which was cut a bit …

2022-London

Helloooo tourists!

Updated on January 4, 2025October 9, 2022

Håkan and I went to buy some breakfast at Hopper Coffee House which we passed by yesterday. Lovely little place with just a few seats inside but an open window. We got there just in time because after we had ordered our takeaway avocado on sourdough and pancakes people kept …

London, here we come!

October 7, 2022October 7, 2022

We woke up in our respective homes and headed to Arlanda Airport. I made a miscalculation last night when I set the alarm so I arrived about an hour earlier than planned. I spent the extra time in the SAS lounge while waiting for Martin and Håkans’ arrival and having …

2022-Florida

Thank you, Florida!

October 5, 2022October 5, 2022

I’ve been home for about 14 hours and thought I would do some sort of summary of the last two amazing weeks. I also have a few photos that didn’t really fit in the daily posts which I could dump here. The trip was divided into four parts. First I …

Time to go home

October 4, 2022October 4, 2022

So I woke up for the last time (in a while) in Miami, Florida, USA. Had made a small plan for the morning so I started off taking a walk to the Sixt office to return the car and then back to the hotel. Grabbed my stuff and checked out, …
