Day 1 - At the store

 This is a little segment, I'd like to call: "Can you identify this?"

We just got back from the hardware store, the electronics store, the grocery store and the department store.  Oy!

Anyway, I took some photos at the grocery store that I thought all might appreciate. 

Emily, what do you think the product in the bottom photo is?

It's 8:00 p.m. and there's a cloudy haze over Malmo.  We'll see what time the sun sets...or maybe not.  After the nutella sandwiches we'll probably sleep and soon!

Day 1 - We've arrived!



Here is Mom in Copenhagen's lovely airport



Wow, what a day!  The good news is we're at our awesome hotel, The More Hotel.  The bad news is we don't have our luggage.  There were issues in Chicago with the flaps on the plane not functioning, so that put us back about an hour and a half.  We only had a 2 hour layover in Paris, so we switched our SAS flight to an Air France flight that left at 12:35 p.m.  (If that hadn't worked our only other option would have been a 6 p.m. flight from Paris...ugh!).  So because of the change in flights our bags stayed in Paris (which is, I'm convinced, the worst airport in the world.  Aesthetically and spatially a monster.) All of the airlines really tried to help us though.  They had tickets ready for us at the gate in Paris.  When we arrived in Copenhagen, we heard our names being called out over the loudspeaker to tell us that our bags weren't there.  Long story short, they gave us each little complimentary "Oops, you don't have a suitcase!" kit, so we'll be fine.  They will deliver our luggage to our hotel tomorrow morning.

The view out our room.  We have 3 windows. 

 

In the meantime...our hotel.  It has a kitchenette, separate sitting/dining area, and an awesome bathroom.  We think it will be quiet, too, though I think right now we could each sleep through anything.

Now we're going to head out to buy converters and some food.  Hey dor  (ask Emily) :-)
