Euro Trip

So it's back to the daily 9-5 grind, well in my case it’s actually 7-5. I have been so exhausted since I returned from Europe. I just can’t seem to find my rhythm. I need to do some serious bonding with my pillows and blankets. I am glad to be home. I think getting away every once in a while is essential to help you appreciate what you have. It gives you an opportunity to miss home.

The trip was great, but getting there was not fun at all. I got LAX 2 ½ hours early and stood in line for about 45 minutes to check my bags. Then I went up stairs where I had to wait outside in the cold to go through the security checkpoint. The line really wasn’t that long, but of course it still took about an hour because the TSA agents go down the line and pull out all of the assholes who couldn’t be bothered to show up early to the airport early and are on the verge of missing their flights. So I had to wait and wait and wait. So what the fuck is the point of showing up so early if you can just show up late and cut in front of everyone?

Flew to Chicago. I fucking hate that airport. I had to walk like a mile to get on the train that takes you to the international terminal where I had to go through security again. Took off my shoes, took off my jacket, took off my hoodie, took off my belt, laptop out of the case. Now I’m jogging to my gate cause the plane is about to leave, but made it. On to Stockholm.

Arrived in Sweden. Went through passport control and then security again. Are you fucking kidding me? I got off the plane and the only way to get to the gates or to exit out of the airport was to first pass through passport control where they grill you on why and how long you’re going to be in their country. Then about 30 feet in front of me is security. I just don’t understand why I have to do it all again when I have had no opportunity to exit or reenter the airport. At least the Swedes didn’t make me take my shoes off. Denmark here I come.

Finally, I arrived at my final destination after over 14 hours of flying.

Copenhagen is a beautiful city. It’s so old and rich in history. I did quite a bit of sightseeing. I saw a few castles.

Will have to finish this blog later, need to bond with the pillows.
