In exactly two weeks I will already be in Sweden. I am beyond excited! I’m not even sure which part of the trip I’m most excited for—the northern lights? The huskies? The glogg? I just don’t know!
There is also a chance that one of my sisters will be coming with me, though it all depends on the outcome of a football game tomorrow. Basically, if her team (the Philadelphia Eagles) wins, they will advance to the Super Bowl and she probably won’t come with me since the Super Bowl (US football) occurs during the time when I will be in Sweden. If the Eagles lose tomorrow, there is a good chance she will come with me. I think that would be so much fun! We’ll see…
Anyway, here is my updated itinerary:
Friday, 2 February — Depart New York for Stockholm
Saturday, 3 February — Stockholm
Sunday, 4 February — Stockholm // fly to Kiruna // transfer to Abisko
Monday, 5 February — Abisko (part of the day in Narvik, Norway)
Tuesday, 6 February — Abisko
Wednesday, 7 February — Abisko // fly to Stockholm
Thursday, 8 February — Stockholm
Friday, 9 February — Depart Stockholm for New York
UPDATE: The Philadelphia Eagles won the game yesterday. They will be in the Super Bowl against the New England Patriots on Sunday, 4 February 2018. As a result, my sister will not be traveling with me. Boo!!! We are going to plan another trip together somewhere later in the year. So this year during the Super Bowl, I will be in the Arctic! Far, far–FAR away from the insanity that will exist here in the Philadelphia region. I’m honestly kind of happy about that because I’m really not much of a football fan (American football). “Go Eagles!”
Stockholm to Abisko
