We got up early and June took us to Denny's for breakfast. She seemed a little sad to see us go. I don't think Junel has had very many extended opportunities to see her grandma and with her being 80 years old who knows how many more times we'll have.
We got to the airport after Junel missed the turn and then we had to guess whether it was the Lindbergh or Humphrey terminal. It was the Lindbergh. We returned the rental car and got checked in. We'll have to fly on Thursdays more often. There weren't very many lines at all.
The flight to Chicago was relatively quick. After negotiating O'Hare's international terminal we ran into my cousin, Steve, and his wife, Kathy, at the gate getting their boarding passes stamped. It turned out we needed to do that as well. Mom and Dad had already arrived, so we all chatted for a short time until we had to board the jet for Stockholm.
The flight took about 8 hours. We watched a bunch of movies. I watched The New World which we hadn't seen. It was pretty good. It had Colin Firth playing Captain John Smith. He kind of looked like another friend of mine who's also named Mark Williams. Ice Age 2 had bad audio for some reason, but I watched it anyway. It was kind of cute. Then I watched Toy Story 2. I guess some day I'll have to watch Toy Story 1.
We got to Stockholm, went through security, found the gate for Oslo, and waited about an hour or so. The Stockholm airport had internet, but it didn't work. I chatted with Steve and Dad for a while and soon the plane arrived.
It was a fairly quick flight to Oslo. We arrived around 9:40 a.m. Oslo time on Friday.
