A thrilling time is in your immediate future.

The title of this post is the final fortune I plan to use for a while, but somehow it seemed appropriate for just before departure. I'm sure it will be a thrilling trip. I'm really looking forward to being somewhere new and different!

We are doing final clean up/organizing/packing stuff prior to leaving tomorrow. We had a good scare learning about the Norwegian airport strike, but it sounds like it's over now, so hopefully we won't be affected. The Alta airport we'd just booked a flight through had been closed!

Here's the planned itinerary, very much subject to change for a variety of reasons:

May 23 – arrive Oslo
