Note: This entry, and the next, were written on the go while I was without Internets.
I've made it to the airport! There were some bumps- I needed help arranging to get my boarding pass, there was some discussion of whether I should just take both bags as carry-on (I opted not to: my suitcase is full of shampoo, conditioner, etc, which is now a no-no... thanks a lot, terrorists.) and the baggage check woman laughed at my last name.
My final security check was the worst. I didn't realize I needed to check my laptop separately (yeah... I wasn't thinking) and so my bag had to be searched completely. My camera-in-a-sock was met with an amused raised eyebrow (Come on, guy! I already dropped more money than I should have for the camera, memory card and extended warranty, a sock will serve as a camera case for now!) and my spare plastic fork was met with bewilderment (though actually, I'm not sure where it came from either...) but in the end I was able to pack everything back up and proceed.
Now here I am, enjoying a beer in an airport bar before I mosey over to my flight gate. Sweden is 21 hours away! My initial flight is 2 hours away! Aerosmith is playing! My beer isn't empty! Life is good.
